Interviewer instructions
<svar a="all" v="IL83A441"><span class="em">24. Question 20 -- explanations: Worker's main occupation</span><br /><br />[Instructions refer to a graphic of the census form including question 20.]<br /><br /><span class="em">A. Main occupation</span><br /><div class="i1">In this question, describe the worker's occupation and specify its title -- if any.<br /><br />Notice!<br />While the previous question referred to the main activity of the workplace, this question refers to the worker's occupation.<br /><br />If a person has several occupations in the same workplace -- refer in the question to the occupation he/she dedicates most of his/her time to.<br />For instance: In case of a woman working as a typist and an operator and dedicates most of her time to typing, write "typist".</div><br /><br /><span class="pg">[p. 36]</span><br /><br /><div class="i1">Write a detailed description of the occupation. In any case, do not write a general definition, such as: laborer, clerk, and technician. Inquire what kind of laborer/clerk/technician and specify in detail.<br />For example:</div><br /><div class="i2">Write "Repair of radio and TV sets" rather than "Radio technician".<br /><br />Write "Planning and supervision of tax clerks" rather than "Unit director".<br /><br />Write "Math teacher for 11th grade" rather than "Teacher".</div><br /><br /><span class="em">B. Job title -- if any</span><br /><div class="i1">Clause B of the question is intended for salaried employees only<br />The intention is to the official/accepted title of the job or the name of the occupation in the plant where working.<br /><br />If there is no title for the job, do not fill clause B<br /><br />Notice!<br />In this question the intent is not to a person's occupation, once he/she does work in his profession any more. For instance: an electronics engineer working as a sales manager of electrical appliances will not write "electronics engineer" in his/her answer. Similarly, a lawyer working as a tax clerk will not write "lawyer" in his/her answer.</div><br /></svar>
