Note: Sibling respondents who answered the mail questionnaire only in 1993/94 (N=559) were not
asked about their first full-time civilian job after leaving school for the last time. They are
coded 9 for SF002RE.

Sibling respondents who had never held a first full-time civilian job at the time of their 1977
interview were not asked about the first job in the 1993/94 interview, although these
respondents may have held such a job after 1977.

Several sibling respondents returned to school after working for a number of years. If we have
information about the sibling respondent's first full-time job after they left school for the
first time, we have coded them SF002RE=2.

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

There is an implied decimal point two places to the left of
the right most digit.

The 1990-basis occupational earnings score is the percentage of persons in the 1990 Census in
an occupation/ industry/class-of-worker category who earned at least $14.30 per hour in 1989.
See Appendix E - COR 639 and COR 684 for details, and a recommended transformation of this
variable.

If information for this job was collected during the 1977 sibling
interview, questions about this job were skipped during the
1993-94 sibling interview. 1990 codes were only assigned to data from
the 1993-94 interview. Data originally obtained during the 1977
interview is coded 9995 for this variable.

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.

Variable SF044 not in this release.
