Economic characteristics
This section comprises questions 11 to 19 which are asked to persons aged 10 years or older.

Columns 17, 18, and 19: The last three questions are asked to all those who worked or sought employment; that is, to all those who have an answer in column 16 and those who despite not having worked all year, claimed to be seeking work.

Column number 17: Where do you work or where did you work most recently?
This question is designed to find out the type of establishment or other place where the person works. The name of the establishment or place is written down: e.g. own farm, private home, clothing factory, brick factory, pharmacy, carpentry shop, mechanic?s workshop, shoe store, company farm, own house, etcetera.

For those who are not working at the time of enumeration, record the name of the establishment where they worked most of the time during the year between May 1, 1960 and April 30, 1961.

In the rare case where a person has a permanent employment but is working in another activity at the time of enumeration, the name of the establishment where the person permanently works is written down. For example: a person who works as a typist in the offices of Standard Fruit Co is on vacation or suspended from work at the time of enumeration and is working as a salesclerk in a store, the enumerator will write down "typist in Banana Co." and not the name of the store.

If a person works in a store as a salesclerk, the correct annotation is "salesclerk in a store", "salesclerk in a pharmacy" or "salesclerk in a bookstore". The type of establishment should be written down.

For those who work in more than one establishment, such as for example; an accountant for a commercial firm who also works as a teacher in a school, write down the profession that brings in the highest income or the one to which more time is dedicated.

For those who have never worked and have been seeking employment in the last month, "new worker" is written down in this column and dashes (--) are written into columns 18 and 19.
