The number of military codes may vary for two reasons: (1) there is a difference in the coding of military occupations between the 1970 and 1990 Census; and (2) an individual may work for the military "industry" (government) as either a civilian or a member of the military. These two issues create some confusion in the assignment of the codes for "military" or "inappropriate". All cases of this type have been checked and should be assigned correctly.

(1) The number of military employees may vary between 1970 and
1990 codes for the exact same job. In 1970, all military
employees were assigned to government industry and given a
generic military code (ind = 917; occ = 970-973) regardless of
the exact occupational tasks they performed. In 1990, the Census
basis codes assigned military employees a government industry
(ind = 940-960), but if they held a job that also existed in the
civilian community, they were assigned a non-military occupation
code. The only individuals who received the 1990 generic
military occupation codes (903-905) were individuals who held
jobs that only existed in the military and had no comparable
civilian code.

(2) An individual could work for the military as either a member
of the military or as a civilian. If the individual indicated a
change in jobs within the same employer, one of those jobs could
be listed as a military occupation, while the other may be listed
as civilian. There are cases where the first job within an
employer spell was military and the last job within the same
spell was civilian, as well as the reverse situation.

Note: See Appendix E on occupation coding and variable construction.

The number of military codes may vary for two reasons: (1) there is a difference in the coding of military occupations between the 1970 and 1990 Census; and (2) an individual may work for the military "industry" (government) as either a civilian or a member of the military. These two issues create some confusion in the assignment of the codes for "military" or "inappropriate". All cases of this type have been checked and should be assigned correctly.

(1) The number of military employees may vary between 1970 and
1990 codes for the exact same job. In 1970, all military
employees were assigned to government industry and given a
generic military code (ind = 917; occ = 970-973) regardless of
the exact occupational tasks they performed. In 1990, the Census
basis codes assigned military employees a government industry
(ind = 940-960), but if they held a job that also existed in the
civilian community, they were assigned a non-military occupation
code. The only individuals who received the 1990 generic
military occupation codes (903-905) were individuals who held
jobs that only existed in the military and had no comparable
civilian code.

(2) An individual could work for the military as either a member
of the military or as a civilian. If the individual indicated a
change in jobs within the same employer, one of those jobs could
be listed as a military occupation, while the other may be listed
as civilian. There are cases where the first job within an
employer spell was military and the last job within the same
spell was civilian, as well as the reverse situation.

The number of military codes may vary for two reasons: (1) there is a difference in the coding of military occupations between the 1970 and 1990 Census; and (2) an individual may work for the military "industry" (government) as either a civilian or a member of the military. These two issues create some confusion in the assignment of the codes for "military" or "inappropriate". All cases of this type have been checked and should be assigned correctly.

(1) The number of military employees may vary between 1970 and
1990 codes for the exact same job. In 1970, all military
employees were assigned to government industry and given a
generic military code (ind = 917; occ = 970-973) regardless of
the exact occupational tasks they performed. In 1990, the Census
basis codes assigned military employees a government industry
(ind = 940-960), but if they held a job that also existed in the
civilian community, they were assigned a non-military occupation
code. The only individuals who received the 1990 generic
military occupation codes (903-905) were individuals who held
jobs that only existed in the military and had no comparable
civilian code.

(2) An individual could work for the military as either a member
of the military or as a civilian. If the individual indicated a
change in jobs within the same employer, one of those jobs could
be listed as a military occupation, while the other may be listed
as civilian. There are cases where the first job within an
employer spell was military and the last job within the same
spell was civilian, as well as the reverse situation.

Industry code is always the same for first and last job with the
same employer but since the 1970 major industry variable uses both
industry and occupation, it must be recalculated using the last or

major industry, major occupation, status, and prestige.

Note: 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.

The number of military codes may vary for two reasons: (1) there is a difference in the coding of military occupations between the 1970 and 1990 Census; and (2) an individual may work for the military "industry" (government) as either a civilian or a member of the military. These two issues create some confusion in the assignment of the codes for "military" or "inappropriate". All cases of this type have been checked and should be assigned correctly.

(1) The number of military employees may vary between 1970 and
1990 codes for the exact same job. In 1970, all military
employees were assigned to government industry and given a
generic military code (ind = 917; occ = 970-973) regardless of
the exact occupational tasks they performed. In 1990, the Census
basis codes assigned military employees a government industry
(ind = 940-960), but if they held a job that also existed in the
civilian community, they were assigned a non-military occupation
code. The only individuals who received the 1990 generic
military occupation codes (903-905) were individuals who held
jobs that only existed in the military and had no comparable
civilian code.

(2) An individual could work for the military as either a member
of the military or as a civilian. If the individual indicated a
change in jobs within the same employer, one of those jobs could
be listed as a military occupation, while the other may be listed
as civilian. There are cases where the first job within an
employer spell was military and the last job within the same
spell was civilian, as well as the reverse situation.

See Appendix E on occupational coding and variable construction.

The number of military codes may vary for two reasons: (1) there is a difference in the coding of military occupations between the 1970 and 1990 Census; and (2) an individual may work for the military "industry" (government) as either a civilian or a member of the military. These two issues create some confusion in the assignment of the codes for "military" or "inappropriate". All cases of this type have been checked and should be assigned correctly.

(1) The number of military employees may vary between 1970 and
1990 codes for the exact same job. In 1970, all military
employees were assigned to government industry and given a
generic military code (ind = 917; occ = 970-973) regardless of
the exact occupational tasks they performed. In 1990, the Census
basis codes assigned military employees a government industry
(ind = 940-960), but if they held a job that also existed in the
civilian community, they were assigned a non-military occupation
code. The only individuals who received the 1990 generic
military occupation codes (903-905) were individuals who held
jobs that only existed in the military and had no comparable
civilian code.

(2) An individual could work for the military as either a member
of the military or as a civilian. If the individual indicated a
change in jobs within the same employer, one of those jobs could
be listed as a military occupation, while the other may be listed
as civilian. There are cases where the first job within an
employer spell was military and the last job within the same
spell was civilian, as well as the reverse situation.

Industry code is always the same for first and last job with the
same employer but since the 1970 major industry variable uses
both industry and occupation, it must be recalculated using the
last or only occupation code. See Appendix E - COR713 and MEMO133 for

Note: See Appendix E on Occupation Coding and Variable Construction.

The number of military codes may vary for two reasons: (1) there is a difference in the coding of military occupations between the 1970 and 1990 Census; and (2) an individual may work for the military "industry" (government) as either a civilian or a member of the military. These two issues create some confusion in the assignment of the codes for "military" or "inappropriate". All cases of this type have been checked and should be assigned correctly.

(1) The number of military employees may vary between 1970 and
1990 codes for the exact same job. In 1970, all military
employees were assigned to government industry and given a
generic military code (ind = 917; occ = 970-973) regardless of
the exact occupational tasks they performed. In 1990, the Census
basis codes assigned military employees a government industry
(ind = 940-960), but if they held a job that also existed in the
civilian community, they were assigned a non-military occupation
code. The only individuals who received the 1990 generic
military occupation codes (903-905) were individuals who held
jobs that only existed in the military and had no comparable
civilian code.

(2) An individual could work for the military as either a member
of the military or as a civilian. If the individual indicated a
change in jobs within the same employer, one of those jobs could
be listed as a military occupation, while the other may be listed
as civilian. There are cases where the first job within an
employer spell was military and the last job within the same
spell was civilian, as well as the reverse situation.

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 inappropriate on this variable.

The number of military codes may vary for two reasons: (1) there is a difference in the coding of military occupations between the 1970 and 1990 Census; and (2) an individual may work for the military "industry" (government) as either a civilian or a member of the military. These two issues create some confusion in the assignment of the codes for "military" or "inappropriate". All cases of this type have been checked and should be assigned correctly.

(1) The number of military employees may vary between 1970 and
1990 codes for the exact same job. In 1970, all military
employees were assigned to government industry and given a
generic military code (ind = 917; occ = 970-973) regardless of
the exact occupational tasks they performed. In 1990, the Census
basis codes assigned military employees a government industry
(ind = 940-960), but if they held a job that also existed in the
civilian community, they were assigned a non-military occupation
code. The only individuals who received the 1990 generic
military occupation codes (903-905) were individuals who held
jobs that only existed in the military and had no comparable
civilian code.

(2) An individual could work for the military as either a member
of the military or as a civilian. If the individual indicated a
change in jobs within the same employer, one of those jobs could
be listed as a military occupation, while the other may be listed
as civilian. There are cases where the first job within an
employer spell was military and the last job within the same
spell was civilian, as well as the reverse situation.

These two issues create some confusion in the assignment of the codes for "military" or "inappropriate". All cases of this type have been checked and should be assigned correctly.

(1) The number of military employees may vary between 1970 and
1990 codes for the exact same job. In 1970, all military
employees were assigned to government industry and given a
generic military code (ind = 917; occ = 970-973) regardless of
the exact occupational tasks they performed. In 1990, the Census
basis codes assigned military employees a government industry
(ind = 940-960), but if they held a job that also existed in the
civilian community, they were assigned a non-military occupation
code. The only individuals who received the 1990 generic
military occupation codes (903-905) were individuals who held
jobs that only existed in the military and had no comparable
civilian code.

(2) An individual could work for the military as either a member
of the military or as a civilian. If the individual indicated a
change in jobs within the same employer, one of those jobs could
be listed as a military occupation, while the other may be listed
as civilian. There are cases where the first job within an
employer spell was military and the last job within the same
spell was civilian, as well as the reverse situation.

See Appendix E on occupational coding and variable construction.

The number of military codes may vary for two reasons: (1) there is a difference in the coding of military occupations between the 1970 and 1990 Census; and (2) an individual may work for the military "industry" (government) as either a civilian or a member of the military. These two issues create some confusion in the assignment of the codes for "military" or "inappropriate". All cases of this type have been checked and should be assigned correctly.

(1) The number of military employees may vary between 1970 and
1990 codes for the exact same job. In 1970, all military
employees were assigned to government industry and given a
generic military code (ind = 917; occ = 970-973) regardless of
the exact occupational tasks they performed. In 1990, the Census
basis codes assigned military employees a government industry
(ind = 940-960), but if they held a job that also existed in the
civilian community, they were assigned a non-military occupation
code. The only individuals who received the 1990 generic
military occupation codes (903-905) were individuals who held
jobs that only existed in the military and had no comparable
civilian code.

(2) An individual could work for the military as either a member
of the military or as a civilian. If the individual indicated a
change in jobs within the same employer, one of those jobs could
be listed as a military occupation, while the other may be listed
as civilian. There are cases where the first job within an
employer spell was military and the last job within the same
spell was civilian, as well as the reverse situation.

Note: See Appendix E on occupation coding and variable construction.

The number of military codes may vary for two reasons: (1) there is a difference in the coding of military occupations between the 1970 and 1990 Census; and (2) an individual may work for the military "industry" (government) as either a civilian or a member of the military. These two issues create some confusion in the assignment of the codes for "military" or "inappropriate". All cases of this type have been checked and should be assigned correctly.

(1) The number of military employees may vary between 1970 and
1990 codes for the exact same job. In 1970, all military
employees were assigned to government industry and given a
generic military code (ind = 917; occ = 970-973) regardless of
the exact occupational tasks they performed. In 1990, the Census
basis codes assigned military employees a government industry
(ind = 940-960), but if they held a job that also existed in the
civilian community, they were assigned a non-military occupation
code. The only individuals who received the 1990 generic
military occupation codes (903-905) were individuals who held
jobs that only existed in the military and had no comparable
civilian code.

(2) An individual could work for the military as either a member
of the military or as a civilian. If the individual indicated a
change in jobs within the same employer, one of those jobs could
be listed as a military occupation, while the other may be listed
as civilian. There are cases where the first job within an
employer spell was military and the last job within the same
spell was civilian, as well as the reverse situation.

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 inappropriate on this variable.

Note: A change was made during the interview process where respondents who left their last job because they had found a better job (gg9b=1), were looking for a job (gg9c=0), or because they started their own business (gg9c=2) were not asked this question. If the respondent completed the interview before this change was made, the data was kept (RF003J4C = shh0e). Otherwise, if found a better job then RF003J4C = 36, if looking for a job then RF003J4C = 59, and if started own business then RF003J4C = 8.

An error in the questionnaire caused anyone who ever left a job because they had found a better job (dd9b, ee9b, gg9b=1), were looking for a job (dd9c, ee9c, gg9c=0), or because they started their own business (dd9c, ee9c, gg9c=2) to skip this question. These respondents are coded RF003J4C = 99.

The number of military codes may vary for two reasons: (1) there is a difference in the coding of military occupations between the 1970 and 1990 Census; and (2) an individual may work for the military "industry" (government) as either a civilian or a member of the military. These two issues create some confusion in the assignment of the codes for "military" or "inappropriate". All cases of this type have been checked and should be assigned correctly.

(1) The number of military employees may vary between 1970 and
1990 codes for the exact same job. In 1970, all military
employees were assigned to government industry and given a
generic military code (ind = 917; occ = 970-973) regardless of
the exact occupational tasks they performed. In 1990, the Census
basis codes assigned military employees a government industry
(ind = 940-960), but if they held a job that also existed in the
civilian community, they were assigned a non-military occupation
code. The only individuals who received the 1990 generic
military occupation codes (903-905) were individuals who held
jobs that only existed in the military and had no comparable
civilian code.

(2) An individual could work for the military as either a member
of the military or as a civilian. If the individual indicated a
change in jobs within the same employer, one of those jobs could
be listed as a military occupation, while the other may be listed
as civilian. There are cases where the first job within an
employer spell was military and the last job within the same
spell was civilian, as well as the reverse situation.

See Appendix E on occupational coding and variable construction.

The number of military codes may vary for two reasons: (1) there is a difference in the coding of military occupations between the 1970 and 1990 Census; and (2) an individual may work for the military "industry" (government) as either a civilian or a member of the military. These two issues create some confusion in the assignment of the codes for "military" or "inappropriate". All cases of this type have been checked and should be assigned correctly.

(1) The number of military employees may vary between 1970 and
1990 codes for the exact same job. In 1970, all military
employees were assigned to government industry and given a
generic military code (ind = 917; occ = 970-973) regardless of
the exact occupational tasks they performed. In 1990, the Census
basis codes assigned military employees a government industry
(ind = 940-960), but if they held a job that also existed in the
civilian community, they were assigned a non-military occupation
code. The only individuals who received the 1990 generic
military occupation codes (903-905) were individuals who held
jobs that only existed in the military and had no comparable
civilian code.

(2) An individual could work for the military as either a member
of the military or as a civilian. If the individual indicated a
change in jobs within the same employer, one of those jobs could
be listed as a military occupation, while the other may be listed
as civilian. There are cases where the first job within an
employer spell was military and the last job within the same
spell was civilian, as well as the reverse situation.

industry and occupation, it must be recalculated using the last or

Note: See Appendix E on Occupation Coding and Variable Construction.

The number of military codes may vary for two reasons: (1) there is a difference in the coding of military occupations between the 1970 and 1990 Census; and (2) an individual may work for the military "industry" (government) as either a civilian or a member of the military. These two issues create some confusion in the assignment of the codes for "military" or "inappropriate". All cases of this type have been checked and should be assigned correctly.

(1) The number of military employees may vary between 1970 and
1990 codes for the exact same job. In 1970, all military
employees were assigned to government industry and given a
generic military code (ind = 917; occ = 970-973) regardless of
the exact occupational tasks they performed. In 1990, the Census
basis codes assigned military employees a government industry
(ind = 940-960), but if they held a job that also existed in the
civilian community, they were assigned a non-military occupation
code. The only individuals who received the 1990 generic
military occupation codes (903-905) were individuals who held
jobs that only existed in the military and had no comparable
civilian code.

(2) An individual could work for the military as either a member
of the military or as a civilian. If the individual indicated a
change in jobs within the same employer, one of those jobs could
be listed as a military occupation, while the other may be listed
as civilian. There are cases where the first job within an
employer spell was military and the last job within the same
spell was civilian, as well as the reverse situation.

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 inappropriate on this variable.

The number of military codes may vary for two reasons: (1) there is a difference in the coding of military occupations between the 1970 and 1990 Census; and (2) an individual may work for the military "industry" (government) as either a civilian or a member of the military. These two issues create some confusion in the assignment of the codes for "military" or "inappropriate". All cases of this type have been checked and should be assigned correctly.

(1) The number of military employees may vary between 1970 and
1990 codes for the exact same job. In 1970, all military
employees were assigned to government industry and given a
generic military code (ind = 917; occ = 970-973) regardless of
the exact occupational tasks they performed. In 1990, the Census
basis codes assigned military employees a government industry
(ind = 940-960), but if they held a job that also existed in the
civilian community, they were assigned a non-military occupation
code. The only individuals who received the 1990 generic
military occupation codes (903-905) were individuals who held
jobs that only existed in the military and had no comparable
civilian code.

(2) An individual could work for the military as either a member
of the military or as a civilian. If the individual indicated a
change in jobs within the same employer, one of those jobs could
be listed as a military occupation, while the other may be listed
as civilian. There are cases where the first job within an
employer spell was military and the last job within the same
spell was civilian, as well as the reverse situation.

See Appendix E on occupational coding and variable construction.

The number of military codes may vary for two reasons: (1) there is a difference in the coding of military occupations between the 1970 and 1990 Census; and (2) an individual may work for the military "industry" (government) as either a civilian or a member of the military. These two issues create some confusion in the assignment of the codes for "military" or "inappropriate". All cases of this type have been checked and should be assigned correctly.

(1) The number of military employees may vary between 1970 and
1990 codes for the exact same job. In 1970, all military
employees were assigned to government industry and given a
generic military code (ind = 917; occ = 970-973) regardless of
the exact occupational tasks they performed. In 1990, the Census
basis codes assigned military employees a government industry
(ind = 940-960), but if they held a job that also existed in the
civilian community, they were assigned a non-military occupation
code. The only individuals who received the 1990 generic
military occupation codes (903-905) were individuals who held
jobs that only existed in the military and had no comparable
civilian code.

(2) An individual could work for the military as either a member
of the military or as a civilian. If the individual indicated a
change in jobs within the same employer, one of those jobs could
be listed as a military occupation, while the other may be listed
as civilian. There are cases where the first job within an
employer spell was military and the last job within the same
spell was civilian, as well as the reverse situation.

Note: See Appendix E on Occupation Coding and Variable Construction.

The number of military codes may vary for two reasons: (1) there is a difference in the coding of military occupations between the 1970 and 1990 Census; and (2) an individual may work for the military "industry" (government) as either a civilian or a member of the military. These two issues create some confusion in the assignment of the codes for "military" or "inappropriate". All cases of this type have been checked and should be assigned correctly.

(1) The number of military employees may vary between 1970 and
1990 codes for the exact same job. In 1970, all military
employees were assigned to government industry and given a
generic military code (ind = 917; occ = 970-973) regardless of
the exact occupational tasks they performed. In 1990, the Census
basis codes assigned military employees a government industry
(ind = 940-960), but if they held a job that also existed in the
civilian community, they were assigned a non-military occupation
code. The only individuals who received the 1990 generic
military occupation codes (903-905) were individuals who held
jobs that only existed in the military and had no comparable
civilian code.

(2) An individual could work for the military as either a member
of the military or as a civilian. If the individual indicated a
change in jobs within the same employer, one of those jobs could
be listed as a military occupation, while the other may be listed
as civilian. There are cases where the first job within an
employer spell was military and the last job within the same
spell was civilian, as well as the reverse situation.
