1Data
on current employment is for persons age 18 and older. Estimates for 2000
and 2001 are based on a revised definition of employment and are not comparable
with estimates by employment published in prior NHSDA reports.
2In
1999, the survey methodology changed from a paper-and-pencil (PAPI) interview
to a computerassisted interview (CAI). Estimates based on the new CAI
methodology are not directly comparable to previous years.
3�Other�
is meant to include persons who are retired or disabled, or are homemakers
or students, as well as any other category not mentioned.
