Note: If R answered "don't know" to the initial question asking about
job of current spouse's head of household when current spouse was 16 
years old, they skipped the entire section.  Therefore, if INSPHH = -1 
the remaining variables = -2.  (321 people answered "don't know" to Q109
and were coded -3 on INSPHH and -2 on OCSPHH.  Four people answered 
something other than "don't know" for INSPHH and asnwered "don't know" 
to specific questions.)
