Re:       Correcting class of worker codes for family workers
*****************************************************************

     In order to assign an appropriate class of worker code to
respondents who work either for (1) a family business; or (2)
themselves, we must also ascertain (1) whether the respondent is
paid for his/her work and (2) whether the business/employer is
incorporated or not. In several cases, the respondent indicated
that he/she was self-employed or a family worker, yet responded
"don't know" or "refused" to either of the two followup questions
regarding pay and incorporation status. For these 145 cases, full
class of worker codes were assigned on a case-by-case basis. The
six-digit Census industry-occupation code and a text description of
each occupation were used to make the final class of worker code
decision. 
     The original version of this document listed (1) the
occupation and industry codes; and text description of each of the
recoded cases; (2) a complete listing of the changes made in the
original data file.
