Quality and other technical information related to this item:
1993
For the 1993 NSCG and SDR surveys, this question asked whether the respondent
was working five years ago, specifically during April 1988, and was worded as follows;
"Thinking back 5 years ago, were you working for pay (or profit) during any part of April 1988?"
1995
For the 1995 NSCG and SDR surveys, the wording of the question was
changed to ask about employment during two separate time periods, and was worded as follows:
"Were you working for pay (or profit) during BOTH of these time periods -- the week of April 15, 1993
AND the week of April 15, 1995?"
1997
For the 1997 NSCG and SDR surveys, the wording was similar to that employed in the 1995
surveys: "Were you working for pay (or profit) during BOTH of these time periods -- the week of
April 15, 1995 AND the week of April 15, 1997?"
