Interviewer instructions

This question is asked of those who did not look for work in the last 30 days. Any of the first
four codes will indicate that the person counts as being currently unemployed, but code 5
(“not available”) has been included as a double-check in case Question 45 had been
incorrectly answered as “yes” when it should have been “no”. If this code is used, you should
then skip to Question 53, since the person will count as currently inactive. If the person’s
response does not fall easily into one of the first five codes, use code 6 and record full details.
