Interviewer instructions
One hour is the minimum time a person should be engaged in an economic activity to be considered as employed.
This column refers not only to the work done in the primary job but refers also to the work done in other jobs (secondary job). Hence, if he did not work in his primary job during the past week but rather worked in his secondary job, he should have an answer of "Yes" in this column. In this case, columns 14 - 26 should be asked relating to the primary job although he did not work in this primary job during the past week.
Skip to column 14 if the answer in column 12 is "Yes", otherwise, ask the next column.
