Understanding Society User Support

Hi there,

I am re-posting this as I think I somehow marked it as "private" last time - apologies for any duplication.

I would like to use the SOC 2010 4 digit codes for the respondent's current job in wave 3 - Current job: SOC 2010, c_jbsoc10.

If I understand correctly, the SOC 2010 code for current job is only available for those who report a new job in wave 3; for those who are continuing in the same job as last time, only SOC 2000 is available. "SOC 2010 codes are [-9] missing for jobs that were already held in Wave 1 or 2 and (re-)confirmed in later waves."

As far as I can tell, it is not possible for me to map the 4 digit SOC 2000 codes to 4 digit SOC 2010 codes from a look-up file (although please correct me if that's not the case). I was wondering if you have any plans to recode the reported job titles for (re-)confirmed jobs as SOC 2010, to replace the missing values in the variable _c_jbsoc10?

Many thanks,
Emma
