Description

For all persons, QWAGEHRRD reports if the person's value in WAGEHRRD was imputed. QWAGEHRRD uses a sequential hot deck procedure for persons with missing wage information, who reported having a current main job, and who were not self-employed. Persons who provided a range of wages instead of a specific value were assigned imputed values from other persons on the file who reported a specific value within the range provided.

Comparability

In 1996, QWAGEHRRD only includes persons in rounds 1 and 2 of data collection; in subsequent years, QWAGEHRRD is available for all persons. Otherwise, this variable is completely comparable across time.
