Description

Definition
Use 7 day employment section only.

If WORKED_7 = 1 then code as missing value (skip the variable)

If WORKED_7 = 0, then code accordingly

Code as 1 (YES), if the person has a job but was absent from it for any reason (sick, other leave, temp. layoff, is about to start work etc.), otherwise code as 0 (NO).

Thus all individuals who did not work in the past 7 days and do not have a job to go back to are coded as 0(NO).
