NOTE: This hardcopy questionnaire was originally developed for the Q2 survey but has been modified to include the Q4 survey logic as well. All Q4 logic that has been copied over from the Q4 hardcopy (as well as changes made to accommodate the Q4 survey) is shown in green highlight. All “Q2_” and “Q4_” prefixes have been removed from variable names when the question applies to both quarters. The prefixes will remain in the hardcopy only (the programming will not include prefixes at all) when the question applies to one quarter only.

We are conducting a survey for Job Corps to learn how former Job Corps participants have been doing since leaving the program. This survey is voluntary and all your responses will be kept confidential. It only takes about 15 minutes on the phone. We would appreciate your help completing this survey and you will be paid <INCENTIVE> for your participation.


The purpose of the survey is to learn about your recent employment and educational experiences. There are also a few questions about any services you may have received from Job Corps and how satisfied you were with those services. Job Corps will use the information you share with us to learn more about how students are doing after they leave Job Corps and to evaluate how services may be improved.

IF (START DATE OF JOB IS CONFIRMED IN EV1_2 OR A START DATE IS PROVIDED IN EV1_3) AND (IF STILL WORKING AT JOB BASED ON EV1_7 OR END DATE IS PROVIDED IN EV1_7A), CALCULATE ‘EV1_X’ AS THE LENGTH OF THE JOB WITHIN Q2 IN WEEKS. USE <TX_SDT> AS START DATE OF JOB WITHIN Q2/Q4 FOR THOSE THAT STARTED THE JOB PRIOR TO Q2/Q4. USE <TX_EDT> AS END DATE FOR THOSE STILL WORKING AT JOB. THEN SUBTRACT THE START DATE OF THE JOB FROM THE END DATE TO CALCULATE EV1_X.



IF EV1_X>0, SKIP TO EV1_11



OTHERWISE, IF EV1_X=0, OR START OR END DATES ARE MISSING (DON’T KNOW OR REFUSED) AND WE CANNOT DETERMINE FOR SURE IF R WORKED IN Q2/Q4, ASK EV1_8.



IN CALCULATING EV1_X USE THE FOLLOWING DATES AS APPLICABLE FOR THE START DATE (<TX_SDT>) AND END DATE <TX_EDT> OF THE SECOND COMPLETE CALENDAR QUARTER AFTER EXIT IF Q2 SURVEY, OR THE FOURTH COMPLETE CALENDAR QUARTER AFTER EXIT IF Q4 SURVEY:



FOR Q2 SURVEY:

Exit Dates Q2SDT* Q2EDT*

NOTE: EXPLANATION OF PROGRAMMED LOGIC FOR PROGRAM CHECK EV1_8



CM_STWORK1 - Computes the start date of the job depending on if it is prior to the start of Q2/Q4 (use TX_SDT), or within Q2/Q4 (using DT_REPORTED1 or EV1_3 depending on how the respondent answered previous questions).



Logic:

  • IF (EV1_3 > 0) AND (EV1_3 < TX_SDT), THEN COMPUTE TX_SDT

  • IF (EV1_2 = 01) AND (DT_REPORTED1 > TX_SDT), THEN COMPUTE DT_REPORTED1

  • IF (EV1_2 = 01) AND (DT_REPORTED1 <= TX_SDT), THEN COMPUTE TX_SDT

  • ELSE COMPUTE EV1_3



CM_ENDWORK1 - Computes the end date of the job depending on if it ended prior to the end of Q2/Q4 (use EV1_7A), if it ended after the end of Q2/Q4 (use TX_EDT) or if they're still working at the job (use TX_EDT).



Logic:

  • IF (EV1_7A > 0) AND (EV1_7A < TX_SDT), THEN COMPUTE TX_SDT

  • IF (EV1_7 = 01), THEN COMPUTE TX_EDT

  • IF (EV1_7A > JUL(1986,12,03)) AND (EV1_7A < TX_EDT), THEN COMPUTE EV1_7A

  • IF (NOT EV1_7A == JUL(1986,12,03)) AND (EV1_7A >= TX_EDT), THEN COMPUTE TX_EDT

  • ELSE COMPUTE EV1_7A



CM_WORKQWK1 - Computes the number of weeks. The addition of one day to the number of days between start and end times is to account for the excluded day you get when subtracting one date from another. To follow logic, let's assume starting on 4/10 and quitting on 4/20. This would compute to (10 + 1) / 7 = 1.57



Logic:

  • IF (CM_STWORK1 <= TX_SDT) AND (CM_ENDWORK1 <= TX_SDT), THEN COMPUTE 0

  • IF (CM_STWORK1 > TX_EDT), THEN COMPUTE 0

  • IF (CM_ENDWORK1 < TX_SDT), THEN COMPUTE 0

  • IF ((CM_STWORK1 == 18991230) OR (CM_ENDWORK1 == 18991230) OR (CM_STWORK1 < 0 OR CM_ENDWORK1 < 0)), THEN COMPUTE 0

  • ELSE COMPUTE (CM_ENDWORK1-CM_STWORK1)+1)/7



TR_WORKQWK1 - Truncates the value of CM_WORKQWK1 with a max width of 2. Following logic from previous example, this would compute to 1.



RM_WORKQWK1 - Subtracts TR_WORKQWK1 from CM_WORKQWK1. Following logic from previous example, this would compute to 0.57.



HF_WORKQWK1 - Always computes to 0.50.



RD_WORKQWK1 - It appears what is happening here is that we're taking the partial week (remainder) and determining if the total count of weeks should be calculated as X weeks or X + 1. We treat 4 days as a week.



Logic:

  • IF (RM_WORKQWK1> HF_WORKQWK1 OR RM_WORKQWK1 == HF_WORKQWK1), THEN COMPUTE TR_WORKQWK1 + 1

  • ELSE COMPUTE TR_WORKQWK1



TX_WORKQWK1 - If the value of RD_WORKQWK1 is larger than 13, just compute to 13, else compute RD_WORKQWK1. This essentially caps the number of weeks, because the max number of weeks in a quarter is 13.



Logic:

  • IF (RD_WORKQWK1>13), THEN COMPUTE 13

  • ELSE COMPUTE RD_WORKQWK1



LG_WORKQWK1 - This is the logic in the specs that says if EV1_X is GT 0, then skip to EV1_11.



Logic:

  • IF CM_WORKQWK1 > 0, THEN SKIP TO JOBMIL_TXT4 (ultimately EV1_11)

  • ELSE SKIP TO JOBMIL_TXT3 (ultimately EV1_8)

PROGRAM CHECK EV2_8:



IF (START DATE OF JOB IS CONFIRMED IN EV2_2 OR A START DATE IS PROVIDED IN EV2_3) AND (IF STILL WORKING AT JOB BASED ON EV2_7 OR END DATE IS PROVIDED IN EV2_7A), CALCULATE ‘EV2_X’ AS THE LENGTH OF THE JOB WITHIN Q2 IN WEEKS. USE <TX_SDT> AS START DATE OF JOB WITHIN Q2/Q4 FOR THOSE THAT STARTED THE JOB PRIOR TO Q2. USE <TX_EDT> AS END DATE FOR THOSE STILL WORKING AT JOB. THEN SUBTRACT THE START DATE OF THE JOB FROM THE END DATE TO CALCULATE EV2_X.



IF EV2_X>0, SKIP TO EV2_11.



OTHERWISE, IF EV2_X=0, OR START OR END DATES ARE MISSING (DON’T KNOW OR REFUSED) AND WE CANNOT DETERMINE FOR SURE IF R WORKED IN Q2, ASK EV2_8.




NOTE: EXPLANATION OF PROGRAMMED LOGIC FOR PROGRAM CHECK EV2_8



CM_STWORK2 - Computes the start date of the job depending on if it is prior to the start of Q2/Q4 (use TX_SDT), or within Q2/Q4 (using DT_REPORTED2 or EV2_3 depending on how the respondent answered previous questions).



Logic:

  • IF (EV2_3 > 0) AND (EV2_3 < TX_SDT), THEN COMPUTE TX_SDT

  • IF (EV2_2 = 01) AND (DT_REPORTED2 > TX_SDT), THEN COMPUTE DT_REPORTED2

  • IF (EV2_2 = 01) AND (DT_REPORTED2 <= TX_SDT), THEN COMPUTE TX_SDT

  • ELSE COMPUTE EV2_3



CM_ENDWORK2 - Computes the end date of the job depending on if it ended prior to the end of Q2/Q4 (use EV2_7A), if it ended after the end of Q2/Q4 (use TX_EDT) or if they're still working at the job (use TX_EDT).



Logic:

  • IF (EV2_7A > 0) AND (EV2_7A < TX_SDT), THEN COMPUTE TX_SDT

  • IF (EV2_7 = 01), THEN COMPUTE TX_EDT

  • IF (EV2_7A > JUL(1986,12,03)) AND (EV2_7A < TX_EDT), THEN COMPUTE EV2_7A

  • IF (NOT EV2_7A == JUL(1986,12,03)) AND (EV2_7A >= TX_EDT), THEN COMPUTE TX_EDT

  • ELSE COMPUTE EV2_7A



CM_WORKQWK2 - Computes the number of weeks. The addition of one day to the number of days between start and end times is to account for the excluded day you get when subtracting one date from another. To follow logic, let's assume starting on 4/10 and quitting on 4/20. This would compute to (10 + 1) / 7 = 1.57



Logic:

  • IF (CM_STWORK2 <= TX_SDT) AND (CM_ENDWORK2 <= TX_SDT), THEN COMPUTE 0

  • IF (CM_STWORK2 > TX_EDT), THEN COMPUTE 0

  • IF (CM_ENDWORK2 < TX_SDT), THEN COMPUTE 0

  • IF ((CM_STWORK2 == 18991230) OR (CM_ENDWORK2 == 18991230) OR (CM_STWORK2 < 0 OR CM_ENDWORK2 < 0)), THEN COMPUTE 0

  • ELSE COMPUTE (CM_ENDWORK2-CM_STWORK2)+1)/7



TR_WORKQWK2 - Truncates the value of CM_WORKQWK2 with a max width of 2. Following logic from previous example, this would compute to 1.



RM_WORKQWK2 - Subtracts TR_WORKQWK2 from CM_WORKQWK2. Following logic from previous example, this would compute to 0.57.



HF_WORKQWK2 - Always computes to 0.50.



RD_WORKQWK2 - It appears what is happening here is that we're taking the partial week (remainder) and determining if the total count of weeks should be calculated as X weeks or X + 1. We treat 4 days as a week.



Logic:

  • IF (RM_WORKQWK2> HF_WORKQWK2 OR RM_WORKQWK2 == HF_WORKQWK2), THEN COMPUTE TR_WORKQWK2 + 1

  • ELSE COMPUTE TR_WORKQWK2



TX_WORKQWK2 - If the value of RD_WORKQWK2 is larger than 13, just compute to 13, else compute RD_WORKQWK2. This essentially caps the number of weeks, because the max number of weeks in a quarter is 13.



Logic:

  • IF (RD_WORKQWK2>13), THEN COMPUTE 13

  • ELSE COMPUTE RD_WORKQWK2



LG_WORKQWK2 - This is the logic in the specs that says if EV2_X is GT 0, then skip to EV2_11.



Logic:

  • IF CM_WORKQWK2 > 0, THEN SKIP TO EV2_11

  • ELSE SKIP TO EV2_8

Module 3: (Other) Q2/Q4 Employment/Earnings



IF Q4 SURVEY, START HERE FOR MODULE 3. IF Q2 SURVEY, START AT PROGRAM CHECK EE_1 BELOW.



NOTES ON Q4 ONLY:



THIS MODULE PRIMARILY FOCUSES ON ‘OTHER’ EMPLOYMENT/EARNINGS IN Q4, WHERE ‘OTHER’ REFERS TO EMPLOYMENT/EARNINGS FROM JOBS THE RESPONDENT HAS NOT ALREADY TOLD US ABOUT IN MODULE 1 OR MODULE 2 ABOVE.



FOR THOSE WHOM WE DON’T YET KNOW WHETHER THEY WERE EMPLOYED IN THE 12-MONTH PERIOD FROM Q1-Q4, THE MODULE BEGINS WITH A SUMMARY QUESTION ABOUT THEIR EMPLOYMENT STATUS DURING THAT 12-MONTH PERIOD, AS WELL AS A FEW QUESTIONS ABOUT WHETHER THEY ARE STILL WORKING IN Q4 ON JOB(S) THAT THEY WORKED AT DURING Q2. THE Q2 INFORMATION COMES EITHER FROM RESPONSES PROVIDED TO THE NEW Q2 SURVEY, OR FOR THOSE THAT DID NOT COMPLETE THE NEW Q2 SURVEY, QUESTIONS ABOUT Q2 EMPLOYMENT ARE ASKED BELOW. THIS REQUIRES COMPLEX SKIP LOGIC AND INFORMATION TO BE PASSED FROM THE Q2 SURVEY, AS AVAILABLE. INSTRUCTIONS ARE PROVIDED BELOW.



The first question below refers to the 12-month period from the start of the first complete calendar quarter after exit to the end of the fourth complete calendar quarter after exit using the specifications below:



Exit Dates Q1SDT*

1/1 – 3/31 4/1

4/1 – 6/30 7/1

7/1 – 9/30 10/1

10/1 – 12/31 1/1 +

* “+” indicates that the year should be incremented plus 1



IF WE DO NOT YET KNOW WHETHER R WORKED AT A JOB BETWEEN <Q1SDT> AND <Q4EDT>, GO TO EE_0.



IF WE ALREADY KNOW THAT R WORKED AT A JOB DURING THIS PERIOD BASED ON JOBS CONFIRMED IN THE Q2 SURVEY (IN MODULES 1, 2 AND 3) OR IN MODULE 1 OR MODULE 2 OF THE Q4 SURVEY, FILL EE_0 = 01 (YES) AND SKIP TO PROGRAM CHECK EE_0A.



R WILL BE DETERMINED TO HAVE WORKED AT A JOB BETWEEN <Q1SDT> AND <Q4EDT> IF:

(1) Q4_EV1_4 = 01, 02, 98 OR 99 AND THE START AND/OR END DATES OF THAT JOB AS GIVEN BY Q4_EV1_2 OR Q4_EV1_3 AND Q4_EV1_7 OR Q4_EV1_7A OVERLAP THIS 12-MONTH PERIOD OR

(2) Q4_EV2_4=01, 02, 98 OR 99, AND THE START AND/OR END DATES OF THAT JOB AS GIVEN BY Q4_EV2_2 OR Q4_EV2_3 AND Q4_EV2_7 OR Q4_EV2_7A OVERLAP THIS 12-MONTH PERIOD.

(3) IF JOBS CONFIRMED IN THE Q2 SURVEY (MODULES 1, 2 AND 3) AND THE START AND/OR END DATES OF THOSE JOBS OVERLAP THIS 12-MONTH PERIOD

SPECIFICALLY:

IF PCEV1_7A_Q2 = 01 OR EV1_8_Q2 = 01 OR PCEV2_7A_Q2 = 01 OR EV2_8_Q2 = 01 OR EE_1_Q2 = 01 OR EE_1A_Q2 = 01, THEN A JOB WAS CONFIRMED IN Q2 (WHICH ASKS SPECIFICALLY ABOUT A 3-MONTH PERIOD AFTER THEY LEFT JOB CORPS) AND OVERLAPS THE 12 MONTH PERIOD




EE_0. I have a few questions about jobs that you may have had during a specific 12-month period since leaving Job Corps.
