Description
This question is asked to family members who have a job or business during the past week. The primary gainful occupation performed by a person should be described in this column.
Occupation refers to the type of work, trade or profession performed by the individual during the reference period such as palay farmer, typists, 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.
Primary occupation or job/business is any gainful activity of a person which is a permanent and full time job, lasting for one (1) year or longer or had lasted or expected to last for one year or longer, regardless of whether he had a job/business at work or not during the reference period.
The following are considered when identifying the primary job of a person:
1) A person with only one job regardless of permanency, full time or part time, is considered as his primary job.
2) For person with two or more jobs, consider as primary job the one which is permanent, whether full time or part time.
a) If a person has two permanent jobs, consider the one where he worked more hours as his primary job. If, however, these two permanent jobs have equal hours of work, consider as rimary that one where he derives more income.
b) If a person has three or more permanent jobs, use the same rule as in (a) above.
Other jobs/business are any gainful activities of a person which may be permanent or temporary, full time or not, aside from his primary job reported in Col. 20. If the person has two or more other jobs/businesses in addition to his primary job entered in Col. 20, note down all his income from these other jobs/businesses and add to his income from his primary occupation/job to be reported in column 17-Basic Salaries and Wages
