Codebook weight: VCF0011x/VCF0011y/VCF0011z (differs from VCF0009z only in 1970). Kept and flagged: 3 (dk), 9 (no_answer). Codebook notes: GENERAL NOTE: See also VCF9037 (jobs only). Weight variable VCF0011/VCF0011A must be used if distributions including 1970 data are desired: see VCF0011. Note that use of VCF0011/VCF0011A as a weight reduces the 1970 total N for this variable: form 1 whites who should appear as code 0 INAP cases are excluded from the 1970 total N.
