Section: Derived Variable

Variable Name: INELJBD6
Position: 30
Length: 1

Derived variable: Respondents were asked details about jobs they reported in cycle 5 that they either worked at in December 2006 or jobs they had in December 2007 but had not worked at during that period. Some of these jobs became ineligible during cycle 6 collection because of respondent recall, respondents reporting that they did not return to work at the job in 2008/2009, or the job became not eligible during cycle 6 collection because the respondent was not able to provide key information about the cycle 5 job. INELJBD6 notes the reason why this job became ineligible.
