Now we would like to ask you about any employers you have had.

Based on respondent comments in the past, we understand that some of the questions we have asked about employers were difficult to answer for some employment situations. This year, we have changed some of the questions we ask about different types of jobs. We believe that the changes in the next sections will help us direct you through more appropriate questions if your employment situation is not typical, and reduce the time it takes to answer these questions. We welcome your comments at any point during the survey. They are very helpful in evaluating the quality of the questionnaire.

First we would like to ask you about the employers you worked for on [Date of last interview].
