Interviewer instructions
Persons age 12 or older
Question 26. What is the occupation, profession or office that provides (or provided) you the largest income?
It is important that the response to this question is asked for with as much detail as possible since very general responses do not give the information that is required.
Avoid non precise answers such as "Worker", "Employee", "Public bureaucrat", "Boss", etc. If a person tells you that they are a worker in a factory, you should determine exactly what duty they perform.
For occupation, office or profession, a complete description is needed. This is especially important when it concerns little known activities for which it is necessary to add to it a concept that makes it more precise. Examples: insurance agent, guide operator, automobile cleaner, journalist, couturier, mailman, mechanical engineer, surveyor, fisher, pediatric doctor, hairdresser, secretary, street peddler of candy, operator of textile machinery, bricklayer, etc.
If a person has more than one occupation, write down the occupation that provides the largest income.
