¹After round 5 the way race is asked in the questionnaire changed; it was not possible to maintain the race variable on the NONHHI roster since this roster is not directly updated during the survey. Users who need race information may be able to retrieve it from an early round, or from the HHI roster if the person ever re-entered the respondent's household.

Important Information

Beginning in round 4, the transition from the freelance section to the regular employee job section (see the introduction to Appendix 2, "Employment Variable Creation") created a disconnect in unique ID codes. If a respondent had a freelance job at age 16 with enough earnings to qualify as self-employed, and continued that job past his or her 18^thbirthday, the job now appears, on the regular employer roster rather than the freelance roster. When the job was in the freelance section, it was assigned a freelance UID. However, these UIDs could not be transferred to the regular employer roster because the numbering system is different. On the other hand, it was misleading to assign a round 4 UID, when the self-employed job first appears on the regular employer roster, because the job was preexisting. So, to indicate that a self-employed job existed during a previous interview, it was assigned a UID of 199999 on the round 4 roster. If a self-employed job was new in the round 4 interview--it had never been reported in the freelance section--it was assigned a regular round 4 UID.
