Interviewer instructions
QUESTIONS 21-23: GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR CURRENT OR MOST RECENT JOB ACTIVITY (INDUSTRY, OCCUPATION, AND CLASS OF WORKER)
1. CURRENT OR MOST RECENT JOB ACTIVITY
"Current" here means "last week," the same week referenced in question 20a. If a person had more than one job, enter the job at which he or she worked the most hours last week. If a person had no job or business last week, give the information for the last (most recent) job held in 2000 or later.
2. JOB DESCRIPTION
All parts of questions 21-23 must refer to the same job. Be sure the entries present a consistent description. See Appendixes B and C for examples of unacceptable and acceptable entries.
3. ACTIVE DUTY WITH U.S. ARMED FORCES
If the person is now on active duty in the U.S. Armed Forces, or if the person is not now employed but was on active duty in the U.S. Armed Forces in his or her last job since 2000; print the branch of service in the Armed Forces in question 22. The Armed Forces include Army, Air Force, Navy, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard.
Class of worker:
All parts of questions 21 to 23 must refer to the same job. Be sure that the entries present a consistent description. Question 23 can frequently be determined if complete and specific information has been obtained in questions 21 and 22. If there is any doubt at all, you must confirm the correct entry with the respondent.
a. "Employee of a PRIVATE company or business or of an individual, for wages, salary, or commissions"
This also includes compensation by tips, piece rates or pay "in kind," if received from a nongovernmental source, regardless of whether the source is a large corporation or a single individual. This category is also for employees of churches, unions, YMCA's, political parties, professional associations, not-for-profit hospitals and similar organizations. Note that only non-government organizations belong here, with the exception of foreign governments as noted below. Also included in this category are people who work for condominium and cooperative housing projects, other cooperative businesses, mutual and fraternal insurance companies, mutual savings banks, and credit unions.
b. "FSM GOVERNMENT employee": Use "2" for FSM government, including employees of public schools, government-owned bus lines, government-owned electric power utilities, etc.
c. "Municipal Government": record "3" for Municipal government employees.
d. "U.S./Other Government": use "4" for U.S. and other government employees. Include persons elected to paid offices and civilian employees of the Armed Forces. Also write "4" for "Federal GOVERNMENT employee" for active duty members of the U.S. Armed Forces. Employees of foreign governments, the United Nations, or other formal international organizations controlled by governments should write "4" for other Government.
e. "SELF-EMPLOYED in own business, professional practice, or farm"
"Own business" refers to work for profit or fees in the person's own business, farm, shop, office, etc. It does not include managers or other executives hired to manage a business or farm, salespersons working for a commission, or officers of corporations. This category includes sole proprietorships and partnerships, but the company cannot be incorporated.
Some people who own all or most of the stock in a privately held corporation consider themselves self-employed and should ALSO be marked in this category.
f. "Working WITHOUT PAY in family business or farm"
This category refers to work on a farm or in a business operated by a relative. Room and board and a cash allowance are not counted as pay for these family workers. Do not check this category, however, if the worker receives money which is considered to be wages for work performed. Instead, write "1" for "Employee of a PRIVATE company or business or of an individual, for wages, salary, or commissions."
