Interviewer instructions

28. Income from Work

[Depiction of this completed question on the enumeration form]

With this question we find out the amount of money that the person earns weekly, twice-monthly, monthly, or yearly from their job.

If they report that the person worked more than one job, add up what they earn in each one of them and record the total.

When the person hesitates to give an answer because what they earn is variable or they don't remember the exact amount, ask them to give you a figure even if it's approximate or an average.

If the informant responds that the person earns the minimum wage, ask how much that is, and if they don't know, consider the minimum monthly salary for your city to be $ [blank], for which you should verify with the informant if they receive this amount and how often they receive it.
