<li>Follow the sequential order of the questions.</li>

<li>Remember that the questions are for people 5 years old and older.</li>

<li>(A)The week of reference will be Sunday the 21st to Saturday the 27th of November.</li>

<li>Question 27 serves to identify people who did some activity for an income or not.</li>

<li>(B)Take into account the leaps of questions 27 and 28.</li>

<li>Question 29 is written literally, the activity of the business or company in which the interviewed person works or worked.</li>

<li>If the informant mentions having more than one job, you should register the one that he/she considers the principal one.</li>

<li>Question 30 is written very literally, what does the interviewed person do or what he/she did where he/she works/worked</li>

<li>Question 31 indicates the dependency relation that the person has in the place where he/she works.</li>

<li>Question 32 registers the total number of worked hours, at his/her principal work, in the past week or the last week that he/she worked.</li>

<li>In question 33, register if the activity that the person does is inside or outside the household.</li>

<li>If the person does more than one activity, as for example weave wool clothing in the household and leave to sell in the streets; for the registry of question 33 priority will be given to the production, therefore you will mark x in code 1 (within the home).</li>

<p><svar v="EC10A467"><span class="em">Worked at least one hour:</span><br />This refers to the person who, during the week from the 21st to the 27th of November, did one or more activities, remunerated or not, inside or outside of the home, for at least one hour, excluding the domestic tasks done by housewives in their own homes.<br /><br /><span class="pg">[Page 42]</span><br /><br /><span class="em">Did not work, but has a job:</span><br />When the person has a job but did not work during the reference period (from the 21st to the 27th of November) due to vacations, illness, strike, bad weather, or another reason.<br /><br /><span class="em">For at least one hour, made some product or provided some service:</span><br />This is the activity that the person did for pay or without payment. This category helps us identify the work that is done by persons who do not consider the following activities as work, among others: weave, embroider, mow the lawn, to take care of cars, to clean houses, tend to the store, tend to telephone booths, or to do some activity in some business.<br /><br /><span class="em">For at least one hour, helped in some way in a business or work of a relative:</span><br />This is the activity that the person does, with payment or without payment, in a family business or work. This category helps us to identify work that is done by the people.<br /><br /><span class="em">Did at least one hour of agricultural labor or took care of animals:</span><br />In the same way, this category of answer helps to identify the activity that is done by the people, with or without payment. Especially for people who do agricultural tasks and take care of animals, without considering it to be work.<br /><br /><span class="em">Is unemployed:</span><br />If he/she looked for work having worked before and it is available to work: that person who retired from his/her job, voluntarily or involuntarily, and who has looked for work during the week previous to the census (from the 21st to the 27th of November), and who is available to work.<br /><br /><span class="em">Did not work:</span><br />When the informant responds that he/she has not done any economic activity to help maintain the household during the week before the census (from the 21st to the 27th of November).<br /></svar>
