I believe that all occupations/industries were recoded into the above
categories.  If you wish to examine the entire codebook for this
collection, it is available on the ICPSR website (www.icpsr.umich.edu).
Simply 'search' the archive portion of the website for Study 6160, WORLD
VALUES SURVEY, 1981-1984 AND 1990-1993.
