[EB] Looking for Belgium surveys with detailed occupational & income data

[James Cassell]

I received the following request from a faculty member here at UNC. The 
Eurobarometer survey *may* suffice, but I'm wondering if there's 
something else out there. Note that he wants a more detailed measure of 
occupation than what's used in the Luxemborg Income Study.

Any pointers will be greatly appreciated.
