The conditions 1. Boss or Employer, 4. Salaried Worker (Employee, Manual Laborer, Day Laborer) are understood on their own and don't need further comments.

2. Own-Account Worker: Is a person who works independently and without employing compensated personnel; runs their own business or practices a profession or trade on their own. The person may work alone or in association and may have the help of family members who are not monetarily compensated: independent professionals and technicians, a store owner without employees, a taxi driver, street vendors, etc.
3. Household Domestic Service Worker: A person who does work related to the house and for which they are paid a wage or salary. These people should be included in the household that is being enumerated only if they have their usual residence there (live-in worker [puertas adentro]) and slept there the night prior to the day of the Census. People who do this type of work and usually sleep in their own houses (live-out worker [puertas afuera]) will be enumerated in their own households.
