Interviewer instructions

These questions are concerned with any work other than housework that the respondent herself does. The time reference for Qs. 807-809 is the seven days before the interview.

As in Q. 806, write the respondent's occupation in her own words in Q. 811. Again, it is better to give more detail than less. Use code sheet for codes of the general industry in which she works.
