Interviewer instructions
3.28 Main Occupation
Main occupation refers to a job on which the person spends most of the time within a specified period of time. For example, the main occupation within the last 7 days before the date of census refers to a job on which the person spends most of his/her time in the last 7 days before the date of census (that is, between March 25-31, 1970).
"Most of the time" means the time that is spent on a particular job more than on any other job, if the person works on more than one job.
Or the person may work on one job but works only for 2 days. That job is considered the main occupation.
Or the person may not work at all because they are sick or they are on leave during the 7-day period, but he/she has a regular job such as government employee or employee of a private company. That person is considered as having an occupation and his/her regular job is the main occupation.
3.29 Last year main occupation
Last year main occupation refers to a job on which the person spent most of his/her time from April 1969 to March 1970.
[From column 17 to column 24, ask only persons age 11 years or older.]
Column 22: Main occupation last year (see details in chapter 3 number 3.39)
Ask: "What did the person mainly work on last year?" and record the occupation that the person spent most of his/her time on during April 1969 - March 1970.
If the answer is "did not work", record "did not work" and terminate the interview. Record a dash in columns 23 and 24.
The main occupation last year may or may not be the same as the main occupation during the last 7 days before the census date.
