Interviewer instructions
Question 17 Occupation:
For the person who is working, write the profession, craft, trade or kind of job on the day of the Census.
For the person who is not working, but worked before and is looking for employment, write the last occupation or class of job that was worked.
The occupation should be written down in a precise form using its specific designations, example: automobile mechanic, agronomist-engineer, secretary-stenographer, movie theater operator, fruit vender, doctor-surgeon, industrial chemist, travel agent, sales manager, financial administrator, car washer, patio cleaner, hardware seller, etc. Do not use, therefore, vague or generic terms like mechanic, engineer, worker, operator, vender, industrialist, agent, etc.

Nevertheless, persons with professional specialization work jobs of a different nature than their specialization, in which case the occupation that they have at the date of the Census will be written down. If a doctor does not execute his profession and instead works as a professor, "professor" should be written down.
For the employees of the National or Municipal Government who are responsible for legislative, executive, administrative or managerial functions, write the position for which they have been elected or named. Example: Deputy, Governor, Mayor, Minister of State, Head of Department, Head of Section, Treasurer, Port Inspector, General Comptroller, Education Inspector, Director of Primary School, Captain of the National Guard, etc.
For the other employees of the government get, when possible, the specific occupation. Example: Architect, Engineer, Agronomist, Pharmacist, Veterinarian, Zoologist, Doctor, Surgeon, Dentist, Nurse, Midwife, Professor, School Teacher, Lawyer, Municipal Judge, Circuit District Attorney, Municipal Representative, Clerk, Typist, Auditor, Accountant, Draftsman, Cashier, Archivist, Telegraphist, Chauffeur, Tractor Driver, Stoker/Fireman, Bricklayer, Carpenter, Painter, Electrician, Agricultural Laborer, Day Laborer, Wholesaler, Cook, National Guardsman, etc.
