Notes:

1. The National Minimum Wage (NMW) rates for workers aged 22 and over in the period 1999-2002 were: £3.60 (1999), £3.70 (2000), £4.10 (2001), £4.20 (2002). The additional 10 pence is to allow for those employees who were paid marginally above the NMW and for the effects of rounding.

2. The FRS variables 'dvuhrhd' and 'dvuhrsp' measuring total weekly hours in the 1999-2004 datasets are not available in the 1997/98 and 1998/99 datasets. The 1997/98 and 1998/99 analyses use the 'tothouhd' and 'tothousp' variables.

3. No questions on mobile phones were asked in the 1997/98 survey (Table A3.4).

4. Notes apply to Tables A3.1-A3.5 unless otherwise specified.
