Dear Statalisters

I wish to delete all records for a subset of individuals who are first
observed as not employed and keep those who are first observed as
employed. Thus, in the example, below, I want to retain those with
ID=2, 3, and 4 but delete ID 1, 5, 6, and 7. I am not sure how to do
this and would be grateful for your help.

Sara
