- This module contains information with respect to respondent's general employment situation, including first job, reservation wage, employment status in each month, etc.
- In Cycle 1, the YITS-B data are stored in a single master file. Starting from Cycle 2, data are split into several separate files. Due to this change, data structure and variable names may change from Cycle 1 to Cycle 2. Please keep this point in mind and use the data carefully.
- In Cycle 1, this module is stored in the single master file. From Cycle 2, this module is stored in a file named "Person Level Main File"
- Note: "mm" is a symbol of month. It could be replaced by number "01, 02, &hellip, 23, 24" since there are two years in each cycle
