This data collection is part of a series of nationwide surveys conducted from October 1990 to June 1996 in Spain. The questionnaires for each of these surveys consisted of three sections. The first section collected information on respondents' attitudes regarding personal, national, and international issues, and included questions on respondents' level of life satisfaction and frequency of visits with relatives, neighbors, and friends. The second section contained a topical module of questions that varied from survey to survey, with this survey's topic focusing on orientation toward work. Among the issues investigated were current employment status, sources of support if not employed, techniques used to find employment, provisions made for retirement income, and characteristics of current/last job, such as industry and size of firm, number of hours worked per week during the last month, and total number of years worked. In addition, the survey gauged job satisfaction and attitudes toward work. Questions in the third section of the questionnaire elicited socioeconomic information, such as respondent's sex, age, marital status, size of household, occupation, education, religion, religiosity, place of birth, and income.
