Description: In MEPS, a job is defined as a definite arrangement for regular work every week or month, for pay or other compensation (e.g., profits, anticipated profits, or pay in kind, such as room and board). A job may also be a formal arrangement with one or more employers to work on a continuing basis for a specified number of hours per week or days per month, but on an irregular schedule during the specified week or month. Job-related insurance coverage can vary significantly based on employer characteristics such as type of industry, length of time in business, number of full- and part-time workers, salary levels of the workers, and the physical location of the establishment. Jobs Files are available as full year files.
