Description

Definition
Some persons may not have worked at all during the past week and therefore would have a code of "2" (No) in column 11 but may actually have jobs or businesses that they are temporarily not reporting to, as in the following cases:

- An employee on strike
- A person on vacation or sick leave
- A person temporarily laid off due to non-economic reasons like machine breakdown
- A person with a new job to begin within 2 weeks from the date of the interview
- Regular and temporary teachers, excluding substitutes, during summer vacation who still receive pay and who expect to go back to their jobs in the next school year
