Subject: Job spell sortid
I have a file with the variables persnr, month, empl(dummy var for employed/non employed), n_empl (indicating the order number of employment spells)
jobchange(indicating the month in which there is a job to job change, which is not recorded as employment spell, because an employment spell is defined when there is a non employment spell in between two jobs, so in case one go from a job to another job without going out of employment, I have only one employment spell, but I want to have 2 job spells)
I want to create a n_job variable (see below), indicating the order number of job spells. How can I do?
pid month empl n_empl jobchange n_job
