([age as of 12/31/96] >= 13)COMMENT: R was is in the oldest four cohorts
We would like to talk to you about any work you have done in the time since [the date of your last interview/your 14th birthday], that is, since [last interview date/(date of 14th birthday)]. In answering these questions, please tell us about any paid employment you had, or any work you did for a family business (whether or not you were paid). While we discuss these jobs, I will be marking some information about these jobs on this calendar. I will start by marking the time period which I want to discuss with you. (INTERVIEWER: DRAW A VERTICAL LINE THROUGH THE WHOLE CALENDAR IN THE CURRENT MONTH. ALSO DRAW A VERTICAL LINE THROUGH THE CALENDAR [last interview date/(date of 14th birthday)]. LABEL THIS AS [date of last interview/14th birthday].) We are going to discuss two sorts of jobs with you. We'll call one type working as a freelancer or being self-employed: that is doing one or a few tasks for several people and not having a "boss" (for example, babysitting or mowing lawns) or working for yourself (for example, running a business). We'll refer to the second type as working as an employee: that is you had an on-going relationship with a particular employer (for example, working in a supermarket or restaurant, or being in the military). FIRST we will be asking ONLY about jobs on which you were working as an employee. Later we will ask about jobs on which you were working as a freelancer.

([R's first time through new employment section] =1)COMMENT: this is the first time R is getting the new employment section
As you may remember, the last time we talked, we separated your employment into two categories: jobs as an employee and freelance jobs. Jobs as an employee included all jobs where you had an ongoing relationship with one employer - let's say in a store, factory, or office. Freelance or self-employed jobs are where you own your own business (for example, a lawn service) or where you do the same type of task for many different people (designing web sites, for instance). In self-employed jobs, you are your own boss. This year, in order to streamline this section, we want to ask you about both types of jobs at the same time.We'll start by making a list of all jobs you've held since we last talked. I'll first ask you about any jobs you reported having the last time we talked, and then we'll talk about new jobs you've held since that time. Please include all jobs where you were working for a particular employer (including working in a family business) as well as jobs where you were self-employed.

Since [the date of your last interview/your 14th birthday], that is since [last interview date/(date of 14th birthday)], have you done ANY OTHER WORK AT ALL for which you were paid or in a family business whether or not you were paid?
Thinking about the [first/next] job that you held since [last interview date/(date of 14th birthday)] that we have not talked about, did you work for an employer or were you self-employed?
We consider you as working for an employer if there is someone who has the right to direct and control the manner and details of your performance in your job. This includes setting your hours and work tasks. You are self-employed if you are free to direct and control your own work and work for profit or fees. In the [first/next] job you held since our last interview, did you work for an employer or were you self-employed?
Were you a worker for a temporary help agency, an independent contractor such as a house painter or freelance writer, or an employee of each of the different organizations?
I am going to consider this as one job working for the temporary help agency and not as several jobs working for the various organizations you were assigned to assist.What is the name of that temporary agency?(INTERVIEWER: ENTER AGENCY NAME VERBATIM. IF WORKING FOR SEVERAL AT THE SAME TIME ENTER "Various Temporary Help Agencies")
