Interviewer instructions
<svar a="all" v="CR73A420 CR73A421 CR73A422"><span class="h2">24.- Question No. 18.- Principal occupation</span><br /><br />Ask this question only to persons in the classifications "Worked" or "Did not Work".<br /><br />Clearly write in this space the nature of the occupation that the person did during the week of May 7 to 12.<br /><br />If the occupation cannot be written down with one defined name, describe the nature of the job, for example: puts lining on steering wheels of vehicles.<br /><br />When a person has had more than one occupation in this period, ask and write down that which is considered the principal.<br /><br />Avoid the use of generic terms such as: worker, aid, owner, day laborer, etc., which say nothing about nature or class of work that a person did during the period of reference.<br /><br /><span class="em">When it concerns not worked, ask the last occupation they had, it does not matter how long ago it was.</span><br /><br />[Below the text is a filled out form.]<br /><br />Keep in mind that here what you should write down is the occupation and not profession. Of course, it can happen, and it is very frequent, that both (occupation and profession) coincide; but also it can happen that they do not; for example: it is common that doctors, engineers, lawyers, etc. work in the same profession; nevertheless also it can be that a doctor is the <span class="em">administrator</span> of a hospital, or an engineer the <span class="em">manager</span> of a company. It is evident that in the last two examples, the occupation of the doctor is <span class="em">administrator</span> and that of the engineer is <span class="em">manager</span>.<br /><br /><span class="pg">[p. 48]</span><br /><br />Examples of correct and incorrect occupations:<br /><br />[Below are two columns, one marked <span class="em">Incorrect</span> and one marked <span class="em">Correct</span>.
