Interviewer instructions
<svar a="all" v="BR70A423"><span class="h3">Question 24 - Class of activity in which the occupation declared in question 23 was exercised</span><br /><br />(Only for persons age 10 or over who worked during the twelve month period prior to the date of the Census or are looking for work for the 1st time)<br /><br />This question is about the sector of activity in which the occupation is exercised. In most cases, the class of activity is not directly related to the occupation. Therefore, a driver may exercise his or her occupation in Street or highway transportation (taxi driver or driver for a transportation company) or in the Textile industry (driver for a cloth factory), in Private education (driver for a private school), in Cattle raising (driver at a cattle ranch), in the Private hospital area (driver for a private hospital), in the Retail food sales (driver for a supermarket), in Entertainment (driver for a circus), etc.<br /><br />Vague answers should not be accepted, such as Agriculture, Commerce, Industry, Public service, etc. The correct answers would be Sugar cane growing, Retail hardware sales, Footwear Industry, Street cleaning, etc.<br /><br /><span class="em">First time</span> will be recorded for those who have never worked before and are looking for work for the 1st time.<br /><br />[List of occupation sectors in pages 45 - 49 was not translated into English]<br /></svar>
