WKSUNEMP
Weeks unemployed last year

Description

WKSUNEMP reports the number of weeks during the previous calendar year that the respondent was unemployed. In 1910, the unemployment question was only supposed to be asked of wage workers (see CLASSWKR), but some self-employed persons responded as well.
