Interviewer instructions
This column seeks to determine who among those who have no jobs/business belong to the “new entrants” in seeking for work. The concept of new entrants as presented in Chapter III applies in this column.

For a person to be considered a "new entrant" in the labor force (unemployed), he must have been looking for work for the first time during the current survey period, i.e., any time in October 1-31, 2004.

Example:

A person is a "new entrant" if at the time of interview in October 2004, he was looking for work.

Enter 1 for YES, then go to next household member. Otherwise, code 2 for NO, then skip to column 43.

Probe further if the answer to this column is “YES” and the age reported in column 7 is grater than 30.
