   Y6.

       Occupation/employment variables represent 5 series of
       questions.  The question series initially assigned to R
       in Y6(1) is determined by R's self-identification of
       employment status.  The series occupation data are:
       "UNEMPLOYED"             - past occupation
       "RETIRED"                - past occupation
       "DISABLED"               - past occupation
       "HOMEMAKER" (nonworking) - past occupation
       "STUDENT"   (nonworking) - past occupation
       "WORKING NOW"            - current occupation
       "TEMPORARILY LAID OFF"   - current occupation

       Note: The final employment status summaries Y6(2)-Y6(3)
       are built using both R's initial self-identification per
       Y6(1) and additional information provided by R during
       questioning.

       The retired who are also currently working have data in
       both the RETIRED and WORKING NOW series; the disabled
       may have data in both DISABLED and WORKING NOW
       series.  For homemaker and student Rs, the 1st question
       in the HOMEMAKER/STUDENT series asks whether R is
       currently working; if so, R is immediately transferred
       out of that series to the WORKING NOW series (the
       HOMEMAKER/STUDENT series not completed).

       Since many questions are asked across multiple series,
       data for common questions across series are "stacked"
       into variables V000979-V000989; for these stacked
       variables the following data are included:

       PAST employment of all retirees [15,50,51 in Y6(1)]
       PAST employment of the unemployed [40 in Y6(1)]
       PAST employment of nonworking disabled [60 in Y6(1)]
       PRESENT employment of working disabled [16,61 in Y6(1)]
       PRESENT employment of Rs working now only [10,20 in
               Y6(1)] or working homemaker/student [17,18,71,81
               in Y6(2)]
       NO data for nonworking homemakers/students [70,75,80 in
               Y6(1)]
