Interviewer instructions
If the entry in column 11 (work) or column 12 (job) is "1", column 13 must have an entry describing the primary occupation of the member.

Occupation refers to the type of work, trade or profession performed by the individual during the reference week such as palay farmer, typist, physician, beauty parlor operator, etc. If he is not at work, occupation refers to the kind of work he was doing or will be doing if merely waiting for a new job to begin within two weeks from the date of interview.

If a person has two or more jobs, consider the one where he works more hours as his primary job. If, however, these jobs have equal hours of work, consider as primary job that one where he derives more income.

Responses like employee, engineer, laborer, mechanic, etc. are too general and do not describe adequately the work performed. Hence, ask additional questions like:

What is ___'s work as an employee?
What kind of engineer/mechanic is ___?
What does ___ do as laborer?
Is ___ a president of the corporation or a general manager?

From a descriptdion of the person's actual duties or the nature of his work, you may now be able to tell just what his occupation is. If you cannot, write as remarks at the back of the questionnaire, the job or position description as described to you by the respondent.

A person operating his own farm should be reported as farmer-owner while the person hired to manage or oversee a farm is farm manager or farm overseer. Paid laborers or unpaid family workers assisting in the farm operation are considered farm workers.
Question post text
Go to column 14. Column 14 is for the code of the primary occupation to be filled up as part of office processing.

Description

Occupation refers to the type of work, trade or profession performed by the individual during the reference week such as palay farmer, typist, physician, beauty parlor operator, etc. If he is not at work, occupation refers to the kind of work he was doing or will be doing if merely waiting for a new job to begin within two weeks from the date of interview. Primary occupation is any gainful activity of a person which is a permanent and full time job, lasting for one (1) year or longer or had lasted or expected to last for one year or longer, regardless of whether he/she had a job/ business at work or not during the past week. The following are considered when identifying the primary job: 1) If a person has only one occupation, regardless of permanency, full time or part time, consider this as his/her primary occupation. 2) If a person has two or more jobs, consider as primary the one that is permanent, whether full time or part time. a) If a person has two permanent jobs, consider the one where he/she works more hours as his/her primary job. If, however, these two permanent jobs have equal hours of work, consider as primary the one where he/she derives more income. b) If a person has three or more permanent jobs, use the same rule as in (a) above.
