Comprehensive information is given on the employment status, occupation, and industry of persons 14 years old and older.

Additional data for persons 15 years old and older are available concerning weeks worked and hours worked per week, reason not working full-time, total income and income components, and residence. This file also contains data covering nine noncash income sources such as food stamps, school lunch programs, employer-provided group health insurance plans, employer-provided pension plans, personal health insurance, Medicaid, Medicare, CHAMPUS or military health care, and energy assistance. Information on demographic characteristics, such as age, race, sex, household relationship, martial status, veteran status, educational background, and Hispanic origin, is available for each person in the household enumerated.
