Description

DRMWKSIMOCC reports the sample person's simple occupation classification of their past job related to their skin condition. This inquiry was directed at sample adults age 18 years and over who are currently employed (EMPSTATSA) or employed at some time in the past 12 months (EMPSTATWKYR) who reported having dermatitis, eczema, or any other red, inflamed skin rash in the past 12 months (DRMYR) who have been told by a doctor or other health professional that their skin condition was probably work related (DRMWKRETOLD) and whose current job or job in the past 12 months and their longest-held job, if different from their current job or job in the past 12 months was not their longest-held job (MAINLONG) and was not the cause of their skin condition (DRMWKCURJOB, DRMWKLNGJOB).

DRMWKSIMOCC is part of a series of recodes related to verbatim responses reporting "whom they worked for", in "what kind of business or industry", "what kind of work", and "what were their most important activities" at the job when they developed their skin condition. For a list of these recodes, and for information on the industry and occupation codes see DRMWKDETIND.

For more information on dermatitis and other variables related to connections between specific conditions and jobs held see DRMYR.
