Both samples 1984 and 1994 require those who engaged in productive work during last 7 days.

The 1996 census question requested the usual number of days performing paid work: salaried job, business/shop, raising animals for sale or provision of services for money. For non-salaried, irregular work, respondents were to total their hours during the week and divide by 7 (the average length of work day).

The cases of "did not work" represent persons who had a job but were absent from work the week prior to the census.

The census question requests the usual number of days worked in the primary job. Therefore, days worked for any secondary activity do not count for this variable. Only persons in the second trimester of the 2006 survey were asked the question.
