Comparability
This variable is only available for 1950. RCLASSWK is the only variable for 1950 indicating a class of work for persons who were not in the labor force (working, temporarily absent from a job, or looking for work) in the week prior to the census but who had worked in the previous year. The 1940 variable UCLASSWK similarly supplies a class of work for previously-employed persons not in the labor force in the week prior to the census. Beginning in 1960, the census collected class of worker data (see CLASSWKR) not only for persons currently in the labor force, but also for all persons who had worked during a specific reference period (within the past 10 years for 1960-1970, within the past five years for 1980-2000 and the ACS).
Universe
- Sample-line persons age 14+ who worked 1+ weeks in 1949 but who are not currently in the labor force.
