Derivation of 1-digit code is based on the following variables:
| LABOR_FORCE_STAT | Definition |
| 1 (Employed) | Working during reference week (A_JOB_STATUS_EMPLOYED_IND = Y) |
| 2 (Unemployed) | Not working during reference week (A_JOB_STATUS_EMPLOYED_IND = N) and Not looking for work (A_JOB_STATUS_LOOKING_FOR_WRK_IND = N) and Reason for not working is layoff from job (A_JOB_NOT_WRKING_REAS_LAYOFF = Y) |
| 2 (Unemployed) | Not working during reference week (A_JOB_STATUS_EMPLOYED_IND = N) and Looking for work (A_JOB_STATUS_LOOKING_FOR_WRK_IND = Y) and Reason for not working is not layoff from job (A_JOB_NOT_WRKING_REAS_LAYOFF = N) |
| 2 (Unemployed) | Not working during reference week (A_JOB_STATUS_EMPLOYED_IND = N) and Looking for work (A_JOB_STATUS_LOOKING_FOR_WRK_IND = Y) and Reason for not working is layoff from job (A_JOB_NOT_WRKING_REAS_LAYOFF = Y) |
| 3 (Not in Labor Force) | Not working during reference week (A_JOB_STATUS_EMPLOYED_IND = N) and Not looking for work (A_JOB_STATUS_LOOKING_FOR_WRK_IND = N) and Reason for not working is not layoff from job (A_JOB_NOT_WRKING_REAS_LAYOFF = N) |
The following variables were combined to derive a 1-digit code:
| A_JOB_NOT_WRKNG_REAS_OTHR_PUB | Definition |
| L (Logical Skip) | Reasons for Not Working: Other (A_JOB_NOT_WRKNG_REAS_OTHR = L) |
| Y (Yes, Marked 'Illness', 'Retired' or 'Other' box) | Reasons for Not Working: Chronic illness or permanent disability (A_JOB_NOT_WRKNG_REAS_ILL_DISABLE = Y) or Reasons for Not Working: Retired (A_JOB_NOT_WRKNG_REAS_RETIRED = Y) or Reasons for Not Working: Other (A_JOB_NOT_WRKNG_REAS_OTHR = Y) |
| N (No, Left boxes blank) | Reasons for Not Working: Chronic Illness or permanent disability (A_JOB_NOT_WRKNG_REAS_ILL_DISABLE = N) and Reasons for Not Working: Retired (A_JOB_NOT_WRKNG_REAS_RETIRED = N) and Reasons for Not Working: Other (A_JOB_NOT_WRKNG_REAS_OTHR = N) |
