Do you want to work a full-time work week of 35 hours or more per week?

Some people work part time because they cannot find full-time work or because business is poor. Others work part time because of family obligations or other personal reasons. What is your MAIN reason for working part time? (PROBE IF NECESSARY:) What is your MAIN reason for working PART TIME instead of FULL TIME?

What is the main reason you do not want to work full time?

Now I have some questions about the exact number of hours you worked LAST WEEK. LAST WEEK, did you lose or take off any hours from (work/your MAIN job), for ANY reason such as illness, slack work, vacation, or holiday?

How many hours did you take off?

LAST WEEK, did you work any overtime or EXTRA hours (at your MAIN job) that you do not USUALLY work?

What is the main reason you were not looking for work during the LAST 4 WEEKS?

(INTERVIEWER: DO NOT READ LIST.)

([R has actively/passively looked for work] = 1);

/* R HAS BEEN LOOKING FOR WORK IN THE LAST 4 WEEKS. */

Did you look for work at any time during the last 12 months?

Did you actually WORK at a job or business during the last 12 months?

Did you do any of this work during the last 4 weeks?

And since you LEFT that job or business, have you looked for work?

LAST WEEK, could you have started a job if one had been offered?

Why is that?
