Note: This question was not asked if current/last employer is the same as first employer (RF001JS = 3 or 13), or if the respondent is self- employed in current/last job (cc25, dd25, ee25, gg25, hh25, or ii25 = 3). In these cases, RG001JJC = 99.

Note: This question was not asked if RF001JJC >= 8. All of these cases were coded inappropriate on RG002JJD.

The inclusion of four women as working zero hours a week is not an error. These women are currently working jobs, but are working minimal hours. Their work experiences are confined to concentrated areas within the month and occur rather sporadically. Thus, their job information cannot be divided into weekly hours.

Note: Due to an error in the original questionnaire, this question was not asked of all 1975 respondents. These data are available elsewhere for salaried workers.

Note: Observations presented in cents per hour; to convert to dollars per hour, move the decimal point two places to the left. A reply of 0 (ZERO) does NOT mean $0.00 per hour: a reply of 0 (ZERO) indicates a response of Other accompanied by a respondent specified answer.

INAPPROPRIATE includes 19 Rs who were not asked this question because they reported being paid on "other" basis (RG011JJC=3). Based on responses to the other/ specify question, we redefined these Rs as hourly workers (RG011JJC=1).

In the public release, this variable is top-coded at $200.00.

Note: See Appendix E - COR582 Creation of Hourly Wage Rate Variables.

Inappropriate includes 52 Rs who were not asked this question because they reported being paid on "other" basis (RG011JJC=3). Based on responses to the other/ specify question, we redefined these Rs as salary workers (RG011JJC=2).

In the public release, this variable is top-coded at $750,000.

Note: RG019JJC uses question 594n which asks: "In the last 12 months, how much have you, yourself, received in WAGES, SALARIES, COMMISSIONS, AND TIPS before taxes and other deductions?" 33 of the respondents who have not had a job spell for six months or longer between 1975-1992/93 and are not currently working reported something other than zero to this question. We have included all of their responses to this variable since it is possible to have held a job for less than six months during the preceeding 12 months without meeting our previous definitions for the job history. To exclude these cases, select on RF001JS = 1.

In the public release, this variable is top-coded at $500,000.

For Code 3: Two respondents are hourly workers who reported "other" as hourly base wage. Interviewer comments included wage information that could be coded as a wage rate.

For Code 14: Seven cases responded "other" to "how are you paid--hourly, salary, or what?" (266r). Interviewer notes in the other/specify lines provided information that made it possible to code a wage rate.

Note: We wanted to know the number of people that work at R's specific place or work, determined by people who work at the same company or organization, at the same mailing address. We were not interested in people who work for the same company or organization, yet are located in a satellite office in another city. Rather, we were interested in the establishment where R works.

For instance, if a respondent reports that he/she worked at Kohls' grocery store in Madison, we would be interested in the number of employees at that particular store. We were not interested in the number of persons who work at the other Kohls located throughout Madison, nor the number of people who work for Kohls company-wide. Likewise, if a person works in a department of a large establishment, we wanted to know how many people worked at that establishment not that department. For instance, if a person works in a cafeteria in a factory, we wanted to know how many people work in that factory, not in the cafeteria. If R did not know how many co-workers he/she had, we probed. If this did not work, we relied on the follow up question, which captured an estimate.

Note: If respondent answered using categories, the median of the category was used to create this variable: <10=5, 10-25=17, 26-50=38, 51-100=75, 101-500=300, >500=2000.

Note: There were a number of respondents who originally answered that they were not government employees but were later coded as government employees based on the answers they gave in the job history section of their interview. Because these respondents did not originally classify themselves as government employees they were not asked what sector of the government they worked for. There were nineteen of these respondents whose government sector could not be ascertained from their interview and these respondents have been coded 9, "refused/not ascertained" for this variable.

Note: This question was not asked if the respondent was self-employed in the current/last job (RF007JCE=3 or RF007JCE = 4). In these cases, RG028JJF = 9, "refused, not ascertained" except in cases where the respondent met one of the criteria for inappropriate, in which case RG028JJF = 8.

An 8-hour day/5-day workweek was assumed for this question; that is, if a sibling-respondent indicated that he or she was supervised 5 days a week, this was coded as 1 time a day (RG039JJG=7), rather than several times a week (RG039JJG=6).

Note: See RG043JJH for the corresponding units.

Note: For example, they may work with dangerous chemicals, equipment or machinery, or they may be exposed to dangerous fumes, gases or fires.

Note: No questions regarding degree of seriousness of danger were asked of the respondent. RG056JJE was constructed from RG055JJD. RG056JJE=1,NOT SERIOUS OR EXTREME (If RG055JJD = 4,20,22,25,27,30-32) RG056JJE=2,SERIOUS DANGER (If RG055JJD =1-3,5-6,8-9,11,19,21,23-24, 26,28,33) RG056JJE=3,EXTREME DANGER (If RG055JJD = 7,10,12-18,29)

Note: Question reads: "Now I would like you to rate your job compared to what most people consider an average job. So considering everything -- pay, fringe benefits, working conditions, kind of work, etc. We find that most people think of jobs like telephone operator, carpenter, or payroll clerk as average jobs. Let's give an average job a rating of 100. Then, if your job (is/was) TWICE as good as an average job, you should give it a rating of 200. If it (is/was) HALF as good, give it 50, and so on. You can give any number you like."
