GENERAL NOTE:
This variable combines employment data for all Rs except nonworking
homemakers and students (i.e., their data for employment in the past 6
months are omitted). The disabled and homemakers or students who are
also currently working have their current occupation coded here.
Retirees who are also currently working have past occupation coded
rather than current occupation. If R is disabled and not working but
has worked in the past, or if R is unemployed, then past employment is
represented here.
The original 3-digit U.S. Census Occupation variable has been recoded
into 71 subgroups, in order to protect Respondents' anonymity.
