        Codes 16 and 61 first appeared  in 1984.  In 1980 and 1982, those who
        were "permanently disabled" when the occupation questions began but
        who subsequently replied that they were also currently working were
        not administered the "permanently disabled" followup series (past
        employment, if any) but were administered the "working now" set of
        questions (present employment), regardless of number of hours working
        [code 10].  Code 60 only represents the nonworking disabled (during
        all years since 1980).
