Comparability

In 1996, OCCCAT90RD only includes persons aged 16 and older with a current main job, who are eligible in rounds 1 and 2 of data collection; in subsequent years, OCCCAT90RD is available for persons aged 16 and older who have a current main job. Otherwise, this variable is completely comparable across time.
