Question 24 - Class of activity in which the occupation declared in question 23 was exercised

(Only for persons age 10 or over who worked during the twelve month period prior to the date of the Census or are looking for work for the 1st time)

This question is about the sector of activity in which the occupation is exercised. In most cases, the class of activity is not directly related to the occupation. Therefore, a driver may exercise his or her occupation in Street or highway transportation (taxi driver or driver for a transportation company) or in the Textile industry (driver for a cloth factory), in Private education (driver for a private school), in Cattle raising (driver at a cattle ranch), in the Private hospital area (driver for a private hospital), in the Retail food sales (driver for a supermarket), in Entertainment (driver for a circus), etc.

Vague answers should not be accepted, such as Agriculture, Commerce, Industry, Public service, etc. The correct answers would be Sugar cane growing, Retail hardware sales, Footwear Industry, Street cleaning, etc.

First time will be recorded for those who have never worked before and are looking for work for the 1st time.
