Multiple jobs?

Hi Jennifer,

Unfortunately I don't know of a way to get at multiple jobs. As far as I know, the ACS only asks about one's primary job for the occupation code.

I don't think there is any reliable way to get this information from the ACS PUMS. Although several questions in the questionnaire tell the respondent to report only on the job where they worked the most, the questionnaire does allow for reporting total hours worked per week on average over the past 12 months. However, I don't see how you can infer that a person had one or more jobs from this information.

Too bad. Thanks for the info.
