Column number 16: How much time did you work during the year?
The enumerator should ask all those people aged 10 years or older, working or not, regardless of their employment situation, if they worked during the year. If they have worked, the enumerator should ask the amount of time employed. It is not important if the work was carried out continuously or in separate periods. The number of months or weeks worked during all of the year, from May 1st, 1960, should be recorded.

If the number corresponds to months, the letter "M" should accompany it. If weeks, the letter "S" should accompany the number.
