Note:
Labor force survey data was provided by the Israel Social Science Data Center (ISDC) at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.
The file was created by appending all years from 1989 until 2009.
Occupation, country of birth and marital status were re-coded to create consistent codes across years.
Couples were matched by year and household id, after keeping only the last interview for each person in each year.
Number of observations is 878,643.
