Description
DWWEEKC is a Census Bureau recode that gives the approximate weekly earnings for the respondent's current job. Unusually low values, such as zeroes or values near and below one are found in the original data. This value is allocated if missing from 1994 on.
This variable is part of the Displaced Workers Supplement.
Inflation-adjusted versions created with the Adjust Monetary Values tool will use the default reference year for the sample (i.e., survey year [YEAR] for basic monthly and previous year [YEAR-1] for ASEC).
