Literal question

How many weeks has __ been looking for work?

Description

Definition

The purpose of this question is to determine the length of time that the person had used in seeking for work. The answer should refer to the continuous time period devoted to job search from the time he started to exert effort to look for a job up to the reference week. If the person started looking for work sometime ago and stopped for a while before resuming his search for employment, report in this column only the length of time (in number of weeks) starting with the time he resumed to look for work.

Consider one week as the number of weeks looking for work for those who are looking for work even for less than a week.
