continuous discrete
A categorical variable (also known as a discrete variable) is one whose range is countable; e.g. the variable answ has values [yes, no, not sure]. answ is a categorical variable with range 3.A continuous variable is one which is not categorical; e.g. weight is a continuous variable which can take any value between 0 and 1000 kg (say) for a human being.
Employment is typically considered a categorical variable rather than a continuous variable. It often involves discrete categories, such as employed, unemployed, or not in the labor force. While one could analyze aspects of employment, such as hours worked or income, those specific metrics are continuous variables, but the overall employment status itself remains categorical.

It depends how we have computed %age. By and large, percentage is a summary statistic. Its a categorical variable (may be nominal or ordinal). That way its a discrete. In case of assay or yield computations it becomes a continuous variable. Naresh K Chawla nkchawla@gmail.com
