       ASSIGNED EMPLOYMENT SERIES
       ---------------------------------------------------------------------

       See notes Y6.
       This variable describes the series of employment questions
       to which R is initially assigned according to R's self-
       identification of employment status.
       By contrast, the Y6(2) and Y6(3) employment status summary
       variables are built using relevant information from R's
       Y6(1) self-identification and also from information
       obtained during questioning (especially number of hours
       worked).
       Initial series assignment from multiple mentions given
       by R for his or her own employment status is as follows:
         RET ONLY   or (RET and any others)      -->retired series
         HM/ST ONLY or (HM/ST and UN/DIS/WN/TLO) -->hmkr/st series
         DIS ONLY   or (DIS and UN/WN/TLO)       -->disabled series
         WN/TLO ONLY                             -->wrkg now series
       Note that Rs initially assigned per Y6(1) to the RETIRED,
       DISABLED or HOMEMAKER/STUDENT series are redirected from
       within those series to the WORKING NOW series if the R was
       also currently working (both series completed if retired
       or disabled). For this reason, the WORKING NOW series
       appears last in codebook variables:
       - V000921-000931 UNEMPLOYED [UN]
       - V000932-000944 RETIRED [RET]
       - V000945-000956 PERMANENTLY DISABLED [DIS]
       - V000957-000967 HOMEMAKER/STUDENT [HM/ST]
       - V000968-000978 WORKING NOW/TEMP. LAID OFF [WN/TLO]

       1. Assigned WORKING NOW series - working now (Y7-Y7j)
       2. Assigned WORKING NOW series - temporarily laid off (Y7-Y7j)
       3. Assigned UNEMPLOYED series (Y9-Y10h)
       4. Assigned RETIRED series (Y11-Y12j)
       5. Assigned PERMANENTLY DISABLED series (Y13-Y14j)
