this interval, this variable represents the length of the interval minus
the time not employed during the interval. For women with more than one
job during the interval, this variable can over-estimate the total time,
in months, that the woman was employed, depending on the length of the
labor force interruption between the two jobs. Any woman who reports
having worked during this interval and who reports the length of time
she was not employed during the interval as longer than the length of
the interval is scored "0".
For the four people who had more than ten children, we
calculated this variable by hand using data from the
interview schedule on the birth date of the last child.
Before using these variables, see Appendix C - COR690 and
COR690a for important information regarding marriage dates,
