Quality and other technical information related to this item:

1997
This variable has been modified to ensure consistency across different surveys.

Specifically, the two 1997 NSRCG follow-up panels -- one panel for those who responded to the 1995 survey, and a second panel for those who did not respond -- did not directly ask whether the respondent paid for professional training. Instead, the follow-up panels asked only how many days of training the respondent paid for. If the respondent said they paid for any days of training, this variable's value was set to "Yes". If they didn't pay for any days of training, the value was set to "No".

The algorithm was based on the following variables:

Attended Work-Related Training

(G_JOB_TRAINING_WRK_RELTD_IND)

Area of Work-Related Training: Technical training

(G_JOB_TRAINING_WRK_RELTD_TECHNCL)

Training in Occupational Field: Number of Days Paid For Yourself

(G_JOB_TRAINING_WRK_RELTD_TECHNCL_PAID_DAYS)

Modification of G_JOB_TRAINING_WRK_RELTD_TECHNCL_PAID for the respondents to the two 1997 NSRCG follow-up panels occurred as follows:

Variable set to	when
L (Logical Skipped)	G_JOB_TRAINING_WRK_RELTD_IND = "L" (Logical Skipped)
L (Logical Skipped)	G_JOB_TRAINING_WRK_RELTD_IND = "N" (No)
L (Logical Skipped)	G_JOB_TRAINING_WRK_RELTD_IND = "Y" (Yes) AND G_JOB_TRAINING_WRK_RELTD_TECHNCL = "N" (No)
Y (Yes)	G_JOB_TRAINING_WRK_RELTD_IND = "Y" (Yes) AND G_JOB_TRAINING_WRK_RELTD_TECHNCL = "Y" (Yes) AND G_JOB_TRAINING_WRK_RELTD_TECHNCL_PAID_DAYS > 0
N (No)	G_JOB_TRAINING_WRK_RELTD_IND = "Y" (Yes) AND G_JOB_TRAINING_WRK_RELTD_TECHNCL = "Y" (Yes) AND G_JOB_TRAINING_WRK_RELTD_TECHNCL_PAID_DAYS = 0

This variable is derived from other variables within SESTAT. More information is available on the derived G_JOB_TRAINING_WRK_RELTD_TECHNCL_PAID page
