Interviewer instructions
Question 15. What was your principal occupation or work that you did during last week or the last work you did before becoming unemployed?
This question is for all of the persons who answered 0, 1, or 2 in question 13 or 1 in question 14.
Carefully write the nature of the work that the person did; if they had more than one occupation in the week before the census, ask the person who he/she considers most important and write this answer.
When the occupation cannot be written with a precise term, describe the nature of the work. For example: install steering wheel covers, assemble cardboard boxes, etc. Avoid general or ambiguous terms like driver, operator, assistant, writer, professor. Always insist that the person give precise information.
Examples:
Incomplete: Laborer
Complete: Agricultural laborer, Construction laborer, Quarry laborer
Incomplete: Worker
Complete: Construction worker, Carpentry worker, Carpentry assistant
Incomplete: Operator
Complete: Agricultural operator, Construction machinery operator
Incomplete: Engineer
Complete: Civil engineer, Mechanical Engineer, Chemical Engineer
Pay attention to note the occupation and not the profession. It is possible for the occupation and profession to be different, but there are also cases where they are the same. For example: doctors, lawyers, architects, etc. work in their profession. However, there are cases where a doctor is an administrator of a hospital or an architect is the manager of a company.
Observe that in the last two examples, the occupation of the doctor is administrator and the occupation of the architect is manager of a company.
The persons who work in public entities generally declare their occupation to be public employee. Ask that they detail their specific occupation, remembering that in an institution there are varieties of occupations; for example: executive secretaries, concierges, doctors, financial analysts, department directors, statistical investigators, etc.
What was the principal occupation or work that you carried out during the past week or the last time you worked before you became unemployed? For example, elementary school professor, agricultural laborer, food vendor, laundress, etc.)
