Mainstage Variable

jbsoc10_1

Current job: SOC 2010: Job 1

Standard Occupational Classification 2010 (SOC2010) of current job 1. Full 4-digit version for Special Licence release (SN6931) only. Current job 1 refers to being in paid employment during the last week, even if the respondent was away from work in that week. The classification is coded post-field using the respondent’s description of the job. From Wave 2 onwards the job description is collected using proactive dependent interviewing. Respondents who held a current job 1 in their last personal interview (i.e., when their interview outcome was “full adult interview”) and for whom a valid Standard Occupational Classification code was available were asked whether the job description provided in that interview was still true. If the description has changed, the new description was collected and coded post-field. The Standard Occupational Classification code from the last interview is used if the description was confirmed. Note that information from interviews with proxies is not fed forward. From Wave 3 onward, descriptions of new jobs were first coded to the code frame of SOC 2010 and the code for earlier versions of the classification was computed from a look-up file. Currently unavailable for Wave 1 and Wave 2. SOC 2010 codes are [-9] missing for jobs that were already held in Wave 1 or 2 and reconfirmed in later waves. For detailed information on the classification, see SOC 2010.
