Description

Definition
To generate this variable only look for information in the following sequence:-

1. First use the longest recall period (e.g. 12 month recall period) to code this variable

2. Replace the value of missing (coded 99) and volunteer/other (coded 9) based on information provided in sections with lesser recall periods (e.g. 7 day recall period)

Do not look for additional information beyond the secondary job section.

Do not code household heads or EMPLHOME or FETCHWOOD or FETCHWOOD as done in EMPTYPE_WB_1.
