Description

This variable indicates whether respondents who worked last week worked primarily within a metropolitan area (codes 1-4), and, if so, whether they worked within a metropolitan central city (codes 1-3). A metropolitan area includes a large city (the "central city") and surrounding counties that are economically integrated with that city.
