Hi Kevin
So some not official updates from PP. This year we are going to be asking some sort of question relating to how long people have had their current jobs, along with skills, experience, etc.
Also, there is going to be a much bigger push to capture self employed archs. Of course while on the train back I thought while we are gathering self employed we could get un-employed as well. In which case the question on emplyoment length should capture everyone. So I will bring that up as well.
I think the PP this year will do a much better job of capturing the range of employment. Though this is all unofficial and it might change due to circumstances. Also, we have to collect data that is compatible with legacy data so there are some constraints in what can be done iwith the budget on hand.
I think the changes, if they happen (no promises) can capture that data you are looking for.
