Description

Definition

Occupation refers to the type of work, trade or profession performed by the individual during the reference period such as palay farmer, typist, physician, beauticians, 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. A person operating his own farm should be reported as farmer-owner while the person hired to manage or oversee a farm is a farm manager or farm overseer. Paid laborers or unpaid family workers assisting in the farm operation are considered farm workers.
