This Mikrozensus special survey is on the topics job seeking, job change, weekend-, night- and shift work. The deflating economy and the pressing of age groups high in numbers onto the labour market are problems which will be in the foreground for the next ten years. It will not be easy for the individual to find a job. A survey on the topic job change was already conducted in June 1957 (Mikrozensus MZ7502). A shortened version of the question program from 1975 was incorporated into this survey.
