VARIABLE-SPECIFIC INFORMATION

EMPSTAT3 is based on hours of work rather than a separate full-time or part-time variable. Hours of work are constructed from summing main job hours with hours in other jobs.

RETIRED – the original variable appears to mark a number of younger people as retired – 45 (1.3%) of people aged 25-69 working full time and 299 (20.4%) of people aged 25-69 working part time, and 2 of the 4 people whose hours of work are unknown who are aged <60 are also coded as retired. Users may wish to exercise caution with these cases.
