Q2-29

Q2-31

Q2-31a

By "working" we mean working for pay at a job, or running one's own business or profession or working without pay in the family farm or business.  Pay includes work for wages or salary, piece rates, commission, tips, or "in kind wages."

Q2-33

This question refers to the number of hours worked at all jobs.

Q2-33c

Q2-33cc

If R does not know and R wants to check with other members of the family,
this is fine.  However, do not suggest to him that he should check with
other family members.

If R mentions a country with which you are unfamiliar, code "other" and get
the proper spelling.  If R is also unsure about the spelling make a note
in the "Comments" field.

Q2-39

If R gives more than one religion, record verbatim in the "Comments" field
and then probe "Which of these religions do you feel closest to?" Make a
note in the "Comments" field that you used this probe.

If R says "Protestant" or "Christian" use the probe:
"What denomination was that, if any?"

If R does not understand the probe above, ask:
"What specific type of Protestant or Christian -- does your religion have
another name?"

Q2-42c

If R is not formally married but is living with a member of the opposite
sex, enter "married" ONLY if the R volunteers that s/he is "living as
married" or is "married by common law."  If the R says s/he is living with
someone or living with a partner then enter "Not married, but living with
a partner."

You may code "separated" even if the separation is not legally filed.

You may code "Never married" if his/her only marriage ended in an annulment.

Q3-2

Code "Yes" even if R reported an annulment.

Q3-3

"Work around the house" means unpaid housework, such as upkeep and
maintenance (not work done for pay, such as stuffing envelopes or
piecework).

Q3YA-15A

A "regular school" is one which gives credit towards an academic
diploma or degree, such as an elementary school, junior high school,
middle school, high school, (junior/community) college or university.

Certain courses at special schools and programs in such areas as
applied technologies (e.g., data processing) and nursing sciences do
grant credits which can be applied towards a regular academic diploma
or degree.  Consider these programs "regular school."  In general,
however, these special schools give certificates rather than diplomas
or degrees; they will be dealt with later during the interview.

EXAMPLE:
If R is attending a community college to earn an Associate's Degree
and is taking classes in computer programming, the classes would be
considered regular school.  If the R is attending a vocational/
technical institute to earn a computer programmer's certificate
and is taking classes in computer programming, the classes would not
be considered regular school.

Consider R to be "attending" if s/he is taking courses that can be
applied toward an academic degree, even if s/he is not formally
enrolled or taking the course for credit.  Do not include courses
taken to prepare for the GED.

Rs on summer vacation are considered enrolled.  In ambiguous cases,
consider R to be enrolled if s/he intends to return to school (has not
dropped out or formally left).  In these cases, code the grade that R
will be enrolled in.

Q4-1

Q4-5C

If the R has obtained his/her B.A or B.S. and is currently enrolled in
his/her first year of graduate school, code "5th year of college" regardless of
whether s/he is working toward a Master's or Ph.D. degree.

If R is taking college courses informally at what we would consider a
regular school and is unsure at what year in college s/he would be, probe
for the number of semester hours or quarter hours he completed.  Then code
accordingly:
             Semester hours:              Quarter hours:
1st year:    less than 30                 less than 45
2nd year:    30 - 59                      45 - 89
3rd year:    60 - 89                      90 - 134
4th year:    90 or more                   135 or more

Q4-2

Read the categories slowly and carefully.  Train R to respond according
to the categories listed below - do not try to "interpret" a
response.

Q4-4a

Select: (Self-explanatory answer categories not listed)
RECEIVED DEGREE, COMPLETED COURSEWORK: If the R has left high school or
college because s/he received his/her diploma or degree or if s/he has
received all the additional education/courses s/he had wanted or planned.
GETTING MARRIED: If the R cited "getting married" as the primary reason,
including leaving school to prepare to get married or leaving school at
the time of or after the marriage.
PREGNANCY: If the R cites pregnancy or having a child as the reason for
leaving school.
LACK OF ABILITY, POOR GRADES: If the R gives reasons such as "I was
failing" or "I was no good in school."
Select: (Self-explanatory answer categories not listed)
OTHER REASONS DID NOT LIKE SCHOOL:  Probe on this response.  This category
would include such things
-dislike of teachers     -classes boring     -just tired of school
-didn't like to study    -just didn't like school
HOME RESPONSIBILITIES: If the R had to take care of his/her children or
family members.  This would include such things as an illness in the family
or needing childcare.
OFFERED A GOOD JOB, CHOSE TO WORK: If the R said s/he left school because
s/he was offered a good job or preferred to work.  Make sure the distinction
is made that the R was CHOOSING to work; if the R needed to work or could
not afford classes, you would select "Financial difficulities, couldn't
afford to attend."
Select: (Self-explanatory answer categories not listed)
FINANCIAL DIFFICULTIES, COULDN'T AFFORD TO ATTEND: If the R specifically
mentions that s/he did not have enough money to attend school.  That is,
s/he could not go to school because of such expenses as books, tuition,
or transportation to and from school.

Q4-7

Q4-13

Remember, the highest grade attended does not necessarily mean the R
completed that grade.  If the R has completed GED training and has the
equivalent of a high school diploma, you would still only enter the highest
grade R completed in regular school, which DOES NOT include the GED
training.

A "regular school" is one which gives credit towards an academic
diploma or degree, such as an elementary school, junior high school,
middle school, high school, (junior/community) college or university.

Q4-18a

The highest grade completed is not always one grade less than the highest
grade attended.  For example, a person may have skipped a grade or gone to
his/her first year of college without completing high school or the 12th
grade.  Therefore, it is necessary to ask ALL respondents  this question.

A "regular school" is one which gives credit towards an academic
diploma or degree, such as an elementary school, junior high school,
middle school, high school, (junior/community) college or university.

We are asking for the highest GRADE completed, not the number of
calendar years they've gone to school.

Q4-19

"GED" -- General Education Diploma, which is obtained by passing a
high school equivalency test.

Q4-28

"GED" -- General Education Diploma, which is obtained by passing a
high school equivalency test.

Q4-29

"GED" -- General Education Diploma, which is obtained by passing a
high school equivalency test.

Q4-30b

If the R says s/he does not know the kind of program it was/is, you may
offer the definitions below of different programs:

Vocational: A school which offers courses relating to techincal skills such
   as carpentry, bricklaying, welding, etc.
Commercial: A school which offers courses relating to business skills,
   such as typing and bookkeeping.
College Preparatory: A school which offers courses taken to acquire skills
   necessary for college.
General: A school which offers courses not specifically meant to acquire any of the above skills.

Q4-43a

When entering the name of the college or university, be specific.  Ask
for the campus location or site, and get the full name.  If the R says
s/he attended "the University of Wisconsin", probe for the specific
campus (e.g., at Parkside, Milwaukee, Madison, etc.).

Q4-55E

Q4-58

When entering "Other," remember that "Professional Degree" includes
certificates, medical, and law degrees.

Q4-63

Q4-64C

Ask for R's main field of study, emphasis, or "major."

Q4-63a

Q4-64

There are no definitions for these categories; if R asks tell him/her
it is "whatever this means to you." These are school-specific and
degree level specific.

Q4-67

Full-time tuition is the amount of payment the school requires for
carrying a full program of study for the school year.

-It does not include payment for room and board or expenditures for books
   and supplies.
-If the R gives you the tuition rate by semester, work with him/her to
   convert it to a yearly rate by multiplying it by 2.
-If s/he gives the rate by quarter, work with the R to convert it to a
   yearly rate by multiplying it by 3.
-Record the answer in whole dollars.

Q4-68

Q4-68b

A loan means financial assistance which must be repaid.  A loan can either
come from a bank or from R's parents, other relatives, or friends, etc.

Q4-69

Other kinds of financial aid:

-Scholarships, grants, and tuition waivers refer to types of financial
   aid which do not have to be repaid.
-An assistantship usually requires that the person perform some service
   such as teaching, research, grading papers, or other duties in order
   to receive the financial aid.
-A Veteran's Educational Benefit makes financial aid available through
   the G.I. Bill.
-"Military educational assistance program" refers to aid R may have received
   to help him/her attend regular school while s/he was serving in the
   military.

Q4-72

Q4-73i

This is where you would include any gifts of money, meaning financial
assistance which need NOT be repaid.  It includes money given to R by
his/her parents to pay tuition or living expenses.  If R lives at home,
be sure s/he thinks of his/her "room and board" there as receiving "help
in paying living expenses."

Q4-74b

Q4-74c

If R says "a college degree" probe for whether s/he would like to complete
a two-year program for a junior college or associate's degree OR a four-
year program for a B.A. or B.S. degree.

Remember, this refers to R's ideal, whether or not R hopes to realize
his/her goal in the near future or at some later time in his/her life.

Q4-75

In this question, record the amount of education that the R feels it will
be possible for him/her to obtain, considering such factors as finances,
family situation, ability, etc.

Q4-76

"Active Forces" means full-time military service (excluding service in the
National Guard).

If R is in the Active Forces they will seldom have another
job; the service is their "full-time" job.

If the R answers s/he was in the ARMY, NAVY, AIR FORCE, MARINE CORPS OR
COAST GUARD, and not in the RESERVES or the NATIONAL GUARD
of one of these branches, then the R would be in the Active Forces.
(See also Q4-1A, Q4-1B AND Q4-2)

Q5-3

Q5-3F

Q5-3H

A person is on LAYOFF if:
-s/he is waiting to be recalled to a job from which they were temporarily
separated for business-related reasons such as temporary drops in demand,
business downturns, plant remodeling, material shortages, and inventory
taking.  They must have been given a date to report back to work or, if
not given a date, must expect to be recalled to the job within 6 months.

Q7-27H

R WORKED if:
-R did any activity for wages or salary, for profit or fees, or for payment
in kind.  One hour or more of such activity constitutes work.
-R received part of the profits from the business/farm, (or would have if
the business or farm had not operated at a loss), regardless of the number
of hours worked during the reference week. (Exception listed below)
R DID NOT WORK if:
-R received profits from a business which s/he owns for investment purposes
only and does not participate in the management or actual operations of the
business
-R was on jury duty or National Guard/Reserve duty
-R did unpaid work that did not contribute to the family business/farm or
did unpaid work for an unrelated household member or relative not in HH

Q7-1

Record the full and exact name of the company, business, government agency
or other employer.  Probe for the full name of an employer if an acronym
or abbreviation is given.

Enter the name of the company, not the name of the supervisor, foreman,
or owner.  For employees whose employers do not have company names,
such as dentists, lawyers, construction contractors, etc., enter
the name of the owner.

If the R questions why we must know his/her employer's name, explain that
because we will be talking about several jobs which s/he might have had,
it becomes less confusing if we can refer to each of the different jobs
by the employer name.

Q7-26

Most multiple job holders hold two or more wage and salary jobs or are
self-employed on one job and a wage/salary employee on
another job.  (Also included are people who started and ended jobs in the
same week.)

The following situations are NOT multiple job holding:

-an individual who has more than one employer but only one job -e.g. a maid
-an individual who has more than one client but only one job -e.g. a lawyer
-an individual who owns two or more unincorporated businesses (and has no
    wage and salary job)
-an individual who has more than one contract or one piece of work but only
    one job -e.g. a general contractor or construction worker

Q7-26A

This question also includes PAID maternity leave.

QES-5

-USUALLY is 50% of the time or more, or most of the frequent schedule
     during the past 4 or 5 months.
-Use whole numbers (count 30 minutes or more as a whole hour).
-Probe for an exact number when a person provides a range of hours.
-Obtain the usual hours a person expects to work for a person whose job
     started during the reference week.
-Include extra hours usually worked even if they are without compensation.

Q7-28

Get as accurate a description of the business or industry as you can.
Probe for clarity.  Avoid the use of the word "company" as it gives no
useful information.

ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS TO HELP THE R:  If the R reports that s/he works
for a metal furniture company, ask,"Do they manufacture it or do they
just sell it?"  If they sell, ask, "Do they sell to other stores,
(which would be wholesale), or to individuals, (retail)?"
COMPANIES WITH MORE THAN ONE BUSINESS:  Some companies are engaged in more
than one business or industrial activity.  If the activities are
carried on in separate places, describe the business in which the R
actually worked.  If the activities are carried on in the same place,
describe the major activity of that company in that location.
BUSINESSES IN OWN HOME:  Some people conduct their businesses right in
their own homes.  Report these businesses as you would report regular
business establishments.  For example: radio repair shop, dressmaker
shop, catering business, etc.
DOMESTIC AND OTHER PRIVATE HOUSEHOLD WORKERS:  When an R works for
a single individual, the name of the employer is given in a previous
Q.; then find out whether the R works at a place of business or in a
private home.  The proper industry entry for a domestic worker employed
in the home of another person is "private home."
HOW TO REPORT GOVERNMENT AGENCIES:  If the business or main activity of
a government employer is not clear, ask in what part of the
organization the R works and then report that activity.  For example:
street repair, garbage collection, water supply, etc.

QES-55E

BUSINESSES IN OWN HOME:  Some people conduct their businesses right in

Q.; then find out whether the R works at a place of business or in a
private home.  The proper industry entry for a domestic worker employed
in the home of another person is "private home."
HOW TO REPORT GOVERNMENT AGENCIES:  If the business or main activity of
a government employer is not clear, ask in what part of the
organization the R works and then report that activity.  For example:
street repair, garbage collection, water supply, etc.

Ask this question if the answer is not apparent.
MANUFACTURING: A manufacturing plant makes products and sells them in large
lots to other manufacturers, wholesalers, or retailers.
RETAIL TRADE: A retailer sells primarily to individual consumers or users
but seldom makes products.
WHOLESALE TRADE: A wholesale establishment buys, rather than makes,
products in large quantities for resale to retailers, industrial users,
or to other wholesalers.
OTHER establishments should be classified as "something else." Examples
are hotels, laundries, banks, telephone companies, doctors' offices,
mines, farms, advertising agencies, and automobile repair shops. Some firms
are engaged in more than one activity.  Describe either the business that
is carried on where the R works or the MAIN activity of the company.

QES-55G

In this question we were talking about the one employer being referred
in this employer supplement. If R performed two different duties for the sam
employer (e.g. worked as waitress and supervised staff), probe to determine
R spent more than 50 percent of his/her time last week on one duty or
the other.  If R did spend more than 50 percent of the time on one duty
get a description of that duty only.  If R split his/her hours equally
between the two duties, ask this series about both duties.

Self-employed: When a R is self-employed, do not enter "manager" as the
occupation UNLESS the R actually spends most of his/her time in the
management of the business.  If the R spends most of his/her time in the
trade or craft of the business, enter that trade or craft (beautician,
dentist, etc.)

Avoid occupation entries that describe departments of places of work:
The occupation entry should describe what the person does (for example,
shipping department supervisor, inventory clerk) not where they work
("works in the shipping department," "works in the warehouse").

Apprentice vs. trainee: Include both the occupation and the word "trainee"
or "apprentice" in the description (for example "apprentice plumber").

Machinist vs. Machine operator vs. mechanic: A machinist is a skilled
craftsman who constructs metal parts, tools, and machines through the use
of blueprints, machine and hand tools, and precise measuring instruments.
A machine operator runs a factory machine, and a mechanic inspects,
services, repairs, or overhauls machinery.

For difficult to code occupations, use these suggested probes:
OCCUPATION:  SUGGESTED PROBE:
Assembler:   What do you assemble? (examples: cars, electric motors)
Clerk:       What type of clerk are you? (examples: accounting, shipping)
Engineer:    What kind of engineer are you? (examples: civil, electrical)
Inspector:   What types of things do you inspect? (examples: cars, houses)
Manager:     What type of manager are you?  (examples: hotel, office, store)

Researcher:  What field of research are you in?
Supervisor:  Who or what do you supervise?  (examples: clerks, laborers)
Teacher:     At what level do you teach? (examples: elementary, high school)

This question asks for the R's most important activities or duties.
(For example, if the R is employed as a waiter, his most important
duties might be taking orders and serving customers;  if the R is
employed as a nurse his/her most important duties might be checking
a patient's blood pressure and ordering medications.)

The response to this Q. will give you the information needed to make
the R's occupation description complete, and thus, adequate.  If the
combination of this response and the previous response does not give
an adequate description of the R's occupation, ask additional probing
questions.

QES-55J

Be sure to read all four categories before allowing R to respond.  If
R responds before you finish, politely tell him/her that you must read
the question exactly the same way to everyone, so you must finish
reading all the categories before recording his/her answer.

WORKING IN A FAMILY BUSINESS: working without pay on a farm or business
operated by a related member of the household.  Room and board and a

QES-56E

The questions on earning refer to USUAL earnings.  In cases where the
respondent states that his/her earnings are not the same from week to
week (or month to month) you should ask what the earnings are 50% of the
time or more.  If the R is unable to answer, ask for the most frequent
earnings amount during the past 4 or 5 months.  For annual earnings that
have varied from year to year, use the annual rate for the current year.
Rs who are new to their job should report their expected earnings for the
current time frame.

Types of Income included as earnings:  PIECE RATE, COLLEGE ASSISTANTS AND
FELLOWSHIPS, ON-THE-JOB TRAINING.
Types of Income not included as earnings: PAY IN KIND, EXPENSE ACCOUNT.
