        USE WEIGHT VARIABLE VCF0009/VCF0009A/VCF0009B.                        
                                                                              
                                                                              
        The purpose of this variable is to incorporate maximum occupational   
        data, which may be for past OR present employment.  The difference    
        between the data in VCF0115 [which remains unchanged] and data in     
        VCF0151 [new var] is that VCF0151 also includes some occupation data  
        excluded from VCF0115.  The occupation data present in VCF0151 but    
        absent from VCF0115 are for Rs considered "students" and              
        "housewives"-- either nonworking (past employment) or presently       
        working some hours (1966-1970: any number of hours; 1972 and later:   
        less than 20 hours per week).  Occupational data corresponding to     
        such respondents was not present at all in 1952,1956,1958,1960,1964   
        studies, for which VCF0115 and VCF0151 are identical.
