- An employee on strike
- A person temporarily laid off due to non-economic reasons like machine breakdown
- A person with a new job to begin within 2 weeks from the date of the interview
- Regular and temporary teachers, excluding substitutes, during summer vacation who still receive pay and who expect to go back to their jobs in the next school year
These persons are considered employed even though they are not actually at work. They should have an answer of "1" - YES in column 12.
Question post text
If the answer to this question is "YES", ask the next question on primary occupation. Otherwise, skip to column 22 (persons who had no job/business).
