Multiple Job Holders Survey
OVERVIEW
The Multiple Job Holders Survey collects information on the number and characteristics of employed persons who have more than one job. This survey was first conducted in November 1965. Then every two years from August 1973 until August 1987, then in July 1991, August 1994, August 1997, July 1998, July 1999, July 2000, and July 2001. The scope of the survey is persons aged 15 years and over.
This survey collects a range of information about employment characteristics of multiple job holders, in their main and second job, including status in employment, full-time/part-time status, occupation, industry, hours worked and weekly earnings. Data items contained within these topics are capable of being cross classified with Data items relevant to migrants and ethnicity.
This survey is conducted as part of the Monthly Population Survey, which comprises the Labour Force Survey and, in most months, a supplementary survey topic.
