You said you were not working between [start date of gap([BJGAPS-LOOP13 counter])~X] and [stop date of gap([BJGAPS-LOOP13 counter])~X]. During how many of those weeks were you looking for work or on layoff from a job -- during none, some or all of those weeks?

You said you were not working from [start date of gap([BJGAPS-LOOP13 counter])~X] and [stop date of gap([BJGAPS-LOOP13 counter])~X]. That would be about [calculated number of total weeks in b/t job gap([BJGAPS-LOOP13 counter])] week(s) when you were not working.

For how many of these weeks were you looking for work or on layoff from a job?

{^bjgap_weeks({bjgaps-loop13})^} - {^q7-16({bjgaps-loop13})^}

COMMENT: CALCULATE THE NUMBER OF WEEKS NOT WORKING AS AN EMPLOYEE AND NOT WORKING FOR SELF

That leaves [Calculated number of weeks not working or self-employed([BJGAPS-LOOP13 counter])] week(s) that you were not working, looking for work.

What would you say was the main reason that you were not looking for work during that period?

(INTERVIEWER: RECORD VERBATIM AND SELECT RESPONSE.)
