Quality and other technical information related to this item:
1993
A date for "year retired" is asked in the previous question if the respondent worked part-time,
and in this question (if the respondent worked full-time). The fact that SDR item nonresponse was
lower in this question than in the previous question appears to be related to formatting (item
nonresponse for this question - less than 1.0 percent in the SDR; 1.1 percent in the NSCG). In
the previous question, the year is a part of a sequence of responses that must be read and marked
in addition to the year, while for this question, only one response needs to be marked, in addition
to the year.
