Description

Hello,
Question E5 on the BHPS questionnaire for 2005 seems to be different from that in 2006. Do the cross sectional weights for these waves account for the change in question (In 2006 reference is made to the respondent's previous job)?
Thanks very much.
------

In 2005 E5 is as follows:
What was your (main) job last week? Please tell me the exact job title and describe fully the sort of work you do.
IF MORE THAN ONE JOB: MAIN = JOB WITH MOST HOURS
IF EQUAL HOURS: MAIN JOB = HIGHEST PAID
ENTER JOB TITLE:_____________________________________________
DESCRIBE FULLY WORK DONE:
(IF RELEVANT `WHAT ARE THE MATERIALS MADE OF?')

In 2006 it is as follows:
E5 CHECK PJBCK1 .
IF VALID OCCUPATIONAL DESCRIPTION AND
VALID SOC CODE (Y5 = 1) ASK E5P (1)
ELSE GO TO E5 (2)
NO FED-FORWARD DATA (3)
E5P Last time we interviewed you, on <INTDATE>, you said your main job
was <OCCUP>. Are you still in that same occupation as your main job?
IF MORE THAN ONE JOB: MAIN = JOB WITH MOST HOURS
IF EQUAL HOURS: MAIN JOB = HIGHEST PAID

Yes..............................1 GO TO E6 CHECK
