Note: 28 people said "not working" to initial question but gave "work"
for a response to a subsequent open-ended question. These
individuals skipped the remaining questions in the series and will
appear with the NA code in the remaining variables.

original variables. Original variables used prior to the
9/99 update are retained in a separate 'Archived' module.

Note: Class of worker was not obtained in a very detailed way for the
aspiration question. Therefore, when the respondent replied "same
job as 1975" or "same job as 1992" those replies have been
condensed into this code which is the only information we have for
individuals who did not want the same jobs.

The 1970-basis occupational education score is the
percentage of persons in the 1970 Census in an occupation/
industry/class-of-worker category who completed
one year of college or more. See Appendix E--
COR638 and COR713 for details, and a recommended
transformation of this variable is described in MEMO133.

The 1970-basis occupational income score is the
percentage of persons in the 1970 Census in an occupation/
industry/class-of-worker category whose income was
at least $10,000 in 1969. See Appendix E--
COR638 and COR713 for details, and a recommended

Note: The 1990 Major Industry categories are selected
to resemble the 1970 categories, but individual
industries which may have changed category between
1970 and 1990 (for example, US Postal Service)
keep their 1990 major industry designation. No
attempt was made to reconcile these cases.

See Appendix E - COR681 for detailed coding instructions.

Note: See Change Notice #21 for information about the 9/00 update.

The 1990 Major Occupation categories are selected
to resemble the 1970 categories, but individual
occupations which may have changed category
between 1970 and 1990 (for example, Actors and
Directors) keep their 1990 major industry
designation. No attempt was made to reconcile
these cases. The large number of such cases makes
direct comparison between 1970 and 1990 Major
Occupation categories unadvisable. For a list of
all such individual changes, see Kubitschek 1986
(Center for Demography Working Paper 86-6).

See Appendix E - COR681 for detailed coding instructions.

Consistent with 1990 Census procedures, civilian occupation codes
were assigned to military personnel if they described civilian
occupational activities. Therefore, it is possible to assign a code
for those individuals on this variable.

Individuals in the military who only described military occupations
were assigned the military occupation codes and coded military
on this variable.

Note: There is an implied decimal point one place to the left of the
right most digit.

The 1989 Nakao-Treas Prestige Rating is the
percentage of respondents in the 1989 NORC General

for details and a recommended transformation of this
variable.

at least $14.30 per hour in 1989. See Appendix
