Interviewer instructions
<span class="em">f</span>. The enumeration form is divided into 14 columns with the following content:</p>

It should not only be written "worker" or "factory worker", instead additional information should be provided (for example: farm worker, saw mill worker, worker at N. N. match factory etcetera). An occupation should also be recorded for a woman if she exercises an occupation or a trade. If someone has more than one occupation they should all be recorded. The first occupation should be regarded as the main occupation. Also if a person formerly has had an occupation, but currently is without employment, the former occupation may be recorded. An occupation can also be recorded, to ensure the possibility of future identification of a person, if the person is commonly called by the name of a profession. Similarly some titles can be recorded (for example farmer and former sergeant, landlord and chamberlain) while other titles that do not give information about service, occupation or trade are of no value for the listing of occupations.<br /></svar>
