Question pretext
If the entry in column 12 or column 13 is "1", column 14 must have an entry describing the primary occupation of the member.
Interviewer instructions
The following are considered when identifying the primary job:
If a person has only one occupation, regardless of permanency, full time or part time, consider this as his/her primary occupation.
If a person has two or more jobs, consider as primary the one which is permanent, whether full time or part time.
If a person has two or more permanent jobs, consider the one where he/she works more hours as his/her primary job. If, however, these two permanent jobs have equal hours of work, consider as primary the one where he/she derives more income.
If a person has more than two jobs, use the same rule as in (1) above.
Describe the specific job or occupation performed by the person in the
establishment, office, farm, etc., like palay farmer, farm worker (paid or unpaid), or fisherman, typist, etc.
A person operating his own farm should be reported as farmer-owner while the
person hired to manage or oversee a farm is farm manager or farm overseer. Paid
laborers or unpaid family workers assisting in the farm operation are considered farm workers.
There must be no entry of student, housekeeper, retired person or other non-gainful activity in this column.
Column 15 is for the 4-digit code of the primary occupation that will be taken from the new Philippine Standard Occupational Classification (PSOC).
