<p>a. As occupation should be recorded the office or trade from which the person earns his living. Titles such as "master in law with court training", "doctor of philosophy", "juryman", "miss", "dowager" may not be recorded as occupations. Occupation should be recorded as accurately as possible in order to explain from what work the person gets his livelihood. Such designations as "director", "factory owner", "engineer", "craftsman", "bookkeeper", "machine operator", "stoker", "worker" should not be used without stating in what trade or in which company the person is occupied, instead occupation should be given as: "director of a joint stock company", "tobacco factory owner", "master painter", "merchant bookkeeper", "machine operator at a public bath", "match factory worker". The occupation statement should also describe if the person is self-employed or works as an employee. In the latter case designations such as "carpenter", "tin-smith" should be replaced by "carpenter journeyman", "tin-smith worker" etcetera. If someone has more than one occupation the main occupation is recorded. For a person who temporarily is out of work his latest occupation should be recorded. For a person who no longer works the former trade or office should be recorded with the addition of the letters "f. d." ("former"), for example "former captain in the royal navy", "former master shoemaker". For a widow who don't have an occupation of her own the occupation of her deceased husband should be recorded, for example "shopkeeper widow". A person who gets most of his subsistence from the relief of the poor should be designated as "pauper". Occupations should be recorded also for wives and for other members of the household if they have an occupation, office or trade. For a person who has given a written statement about occupation, as described in the royal decrees of the 10th of June and the 30th of September, should in this column alongside the occupation designation also the number of the written occupation statement be recorded.
