Question 11 of the persons sheet
This question must be answered by all persons who are 15 years of age and older. At the every least, the first box (Community school, secondary school, etc.) must be marked (Control question). For the following questions, only the successfully completed training programs are allowed to be given. If the box is marked, the trained profession or the field of study of the completed training (11 c, d) must also answered.
Due to the fact that, by each box, only a single field of study can be evaluated, it is desirable that, by answering, the most important field of study should be noted. In case of doubt, the answer that is the truest summary as the practiced profession should be chosen.
For graduation diplomas, do not forget the graduation year.
Questions 12 and 13 of the persons sheet
For employed persons, the workplace should be answered here, where the daily profession can be found. Because the address of the workplace is promoted for the commuter statistics, the address of the management is therefore not intended but the building, or rather meeting place from which they are brought to the workplace. For police officer it is the patrol office, for traveling salesmen, if need be, it is their own dwelling, etc. Only employed persons who have a different workplace everyday, in order that an answer is futile, should answer "alternating work sites".
For pupils and students, here give the specific type of school (e.g. "technical school for electrical engineering", "advanced technical apprenticeship for electrical engineering") or the address of this school. Therefore all children must give an answer here who are 6 years and older. Unemployed persons and active duty personnel should give the previous work site or the school last visited.
