Description

Hello,

I am hoping to use the Understanding Society dataset for a college project looking at individual and household earnings, but I have noticed that the variable for gross monthly labour income w_fimnlabgrs_dv has some negative values, for example the smallest value in the dataset in the individual file in wave L is -5589.49. Can you please explain what it means for the income to take on negative values?

Thanks so much for your help!
