Full Description
Deferred earnings from jobs NOT covered by FICA tax; summed across all employers in
the DER to give a person-level total for each year. The practice of withholding deferred
wages from employee pay and reporting this on W-2 forms began in 1987. However in
the SSB, we restrict the time series for this variable to be 1990-2011. This decision
is due to the fact that so few people had deferred wages between 1987 and 1989 that
we could not reliably synthesize these variables.
