A wage and salary job.
Business, shop, taxi/carrier business, repair shop
Grow things for sale

[p.26]
You should write 'M' against money work. Include also persons who had a job but were either sick or on leave or did not attend work for some other reason.
For persons who did not work for money last week write 'NO' in this box.
143. Question 14[b]
Ask,
'How many days did this person work for money last week?'
For persons like wage/salary earners in regular work this is easy to work out as their working hours are fixed. For those with jobs but were sick or were away from work for some other reason you should put the normal working days.
People earning money from other than wage/salary job often work more irregular times. Make a rough estimate of hours or half days worked each day of last week. Add up these hours and divide by 7 [average number of hours people work in a day] to obtain the number of days worked last week.
If the person worked on more than one money earning activity last week, record the one the person spent the most time on.
Number of days worked should be reported against Q14[b].
For between 1 and 2 full days write '2'.
For between 2 and 3 full days write '3'.
For between 3 and 4 full days write '4'.
For between 4 and 5 full days write '5'.
For between 5 and 6 full days write '6'.

visited offices or job sites
asked friends to obtain cash work
write 'UNEMP' [for unemployed]
and if the person did not look for money earning work
write '0'.
