If no monthly wage was reported, then SG018JJD=99999. In three cases, a salary AND a monthly wage was reported; SG018JJD contains the monthly wage information, even though the salary information will be used to compute the wage rate for these three sibling respondents.

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.

Where information on hours and/or weeks worked per year is missing, wage rate is based on full-year (52 weeks), full-time (40 hours) work. Where information about the salary or hourly wage from the sibling respondent's current/last job is missing, information about the sibling respondent's total yearly wage income is used to estimate the wage rate (SG019JJ). In most cases where sibling respondents reported yearly salary for part-time work, weeks worked per year (SG007JJ) was used to compute the wage rate, rather than the months worked (SG016JJF). Only in cases where the months worked was much lower than 4 times the weeks worked was months used. Note that weeks worked per year was NOT used in the creation of the corresponding respondents' wage variable (RG021JJD).

Note: "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."
