I am looking for a variable on ATUS-x indicating if the respondent’s spouse/partner was employed full or part time. I can find the variable on ICPSR ([see here](https://www.icpsr.umich.edu/web/ICPSR/studies/34453/datasets/0005/variables/TRSPFTPT?archive=icpsr)) but not on [atusdata.org](http://atusdata.org). Is the variable unavailable? ---

TRSPFTPT (full time or part time employment status of spouse or unmarried partner) is currently unavailable from IPUMS. However, it will be made available on the website in a couple of weeks. You can follow [IPUMS on Twitter](https://twitter.com/ipums) or check the [revisions page](https://www.atusdata.org/atus-action/revisions) for announcements of data releases. For the time being I can direct you to [SPEMPSTAT](https://www.atusdata.org/atus-action/variables/SPEMPSTAT#codes_section) (spouse employment status), though this does not have a part-time option, as well as [SPUSUALHRS](https://www.atusdata.org/atus-action/variables/SPUSUALHRS#codes_section) (hours worked by spouse).
