Describe the occupation, trade, or type of work that you do (or used to do if the person is unemployed).<br /><br />It's very important that the answer to this question be requested with the greatest detail, since general answers don't provide the required information.<br /><br />For the Occupation, Trade, or Type of Work a complete description is needed. This is especially important when talking about little known activities. Other cases involve well known occupations, but for these it is nonetheless necessary to add details that specify them.<br /><br />The examples that are on the form and these others will help you achieve greater precision in the response: insurance agent, crane operator, car washer, journalist, upholsterer, stenographer, mail carrier, mechanical engineer, mine technician, veterinarian, fashion designer, waiter, geologist, galvanizer, stucco worker, dent remover for metal bodywork, civil construction worker, surveyor, attorney, fisherman, surgical doctor, dietician, hairdresser, elementary school teacher, television reporter, etc.<br /><br />If the person being enumerated has more than one occupation, write down the occupation to which the person devotes the majority of the time.<br /><br />If the person has two or more occupations to which they devote an equal number of hours, write down the occupation that the person considers to be the main one.<br /><br />[The above directions refer to a picture of question 11 in this section of the enumeration form.]<br /></svar>
