Description

For persons aged 16 and older who are in scope and have a current main job, WRKSEASRD reports if the person's current main job is only available during certain times of the year. Teachers and other school personnel who only work during the school year are considered to work year round.

Comparability

Beginning in 2013, MEPS no longer asks if jobs are temporary (or seasonal) in each round, and instead only asks these questions if the job in the round is newly reported. A new code of "Determined in previous round" was added in 2013 to identify these cases.
