Ajobhist
Record Type AJOBHIST
This Record contains information from the employment history over the period from 1st September
1990 to the date of interview. There is one record for each spell identified at question J5, with job
characteristic information from questions J6 to J89 appended where relevant.
These records will only exist for respondents whose current labour force spell began after 1.9.1990.
The additional key AJSPNO, identifies the sequence of job spell, with the most recent first.
Derived variables are those from AJHENDD onwards. Where a job is with the same employer as
previously mentioned and/or at the same workplace (AJHSTAT=1), then the values for AJHSIC
AJHSECT and AJHSIZE are copied from the relevant record.
The following variables have all missing data imputed:
AJHGPAY | AJHNPAY |
See Volume A for a full discussion of imputation. Imputation flag variables are listed below.
AJHGPAYI | AJHNPAYI |
Note that for 62 employment history spells, employment status was undefined. These are mainly
spells generated because the subsequent spell did not begin before 1.9.90. A status and pay level
is imputed for these spells, but is not included on this record, but rather contributes to the
computation of AFIYRL and APAYGLY, and is flagged there.
The results contained in the following tables are obtained from unweighted data. See Volume A for
a full discussion on weighting.
