Notes
GENERAL NOTES
----------------------
"Searching for a private project" includes searching for a land, premises, machinery, supplies, farming inputs, etc.
"Online search" includes placing or updating the résumé on professional or social networking sites.
"Applying directly to the employer" includes checking worksites, farms, factories or other assembly places.


COUNTRY SPECIFIC NOTES
----------------------------------
For those who are reported unemployed but do not seek for a job in the main activity status (MAS_D=232, 233, 234), no data for search activity was collected, thus all the harmonized variables for those cases were reported missing.
