Question 17, Hours worked the previous week [omitted]
174. Those having worked Zero or less than 10 hours the previous of the census taking week must also answer whether they were "seeking work"
The enumerator must be very careful. Many working would rather prefer a different work but this does not mean that are seeking work. Job seeker is considered the person that is not working or will not have work when today has finished his work and so tomorrow is to look for work e.g. whitewasher finishing a room in a day and tomorrow is to seek work.
The worker dismissed from his work and is seeking work etc.
[p. 50]
The enumerated individual not working until the census taking day either as assistant in the family business or at all, but is seeking work is to be recorded as "young", man or woman finishing gymnasium and wishing to work.

196. Question 13, "how many hours did he work during the previous week (8-14 March)" must be answered only if the answer to question 11 is working.
The actual sum of hours they worked must be recorded. It is considered that the enumerated has worked as many hours as he was present in his work, e.g. the establishment, enterprise, service or/and outside work, regardless of whether or not during this time he did not worked. So, the shopkeeper opening his shop is considered that worked as many hours as the shop were open regardless of whether or not they were any sales during that time.
17. If the answer to question 15 was number 1 (working), how many hours did he/she work during the previous week (10-16 March)?
-Record the actual number of hours that he/she worked during the previous week, not the number of hours usually worked.
-If he/she did not work at all, write the word "zero".
-If he/she did not work at all or worked less than 15 hours during the previous week, the reason why must be given by selecting the correct answer from 1-4.
If zero or less than 15 hours, the reason was:
[] 1 Seasonal work
[] 2 Adverse weather conditions
[] 3 Leave or sickness
[] 4 Other reason ___ (specify)
12. Level of education

17. How many hours did the working individuals work during the week 10-16 of March?
The actual sum of hours they worked was entered. It was considered that the enumerated individual had worked as many hours as he/she was present in his/her work or and outside work, regardless of whether or not during this time there were hours that he/she did not work. If the individual did not work at all or worked for less than 15 hours ... [as in the form, omitted].
20. How many hours did you work during the previous week (March 11- 17)?

If zero or less than 15 hours, the reason was:
[] 1 Seasonal work
[] 2 Weather conditions
[] 3 Leave / Sickness
[] 4 Other ___ (specify)
17. Working hours
B. How many hours did you work during the previous week (May 3-9)?
For certain occupational categories that their clients are visiting them at their home or they are visiting at their clients' home (e.g. dressmakers, hairdressers, teachers etc.) the actual time spent with their clients is to be considered as working time.
There is a chance that the enumerated individual did not work or worked less during the week of the census taking for various reasons. Maybe he worked only in certain days or even at all. If during the previous to the census week he did not work at all in case b of question 17, 00 is to be recorded. If 00 is recorded or the number of hours is less than the hours that he usually works (case a of question 17) then he has to state the reason recorded with X [omitted, the categthe form and examples of recording other reasons].

Question 28: Total working hours from all work, for each day during the past week
Total working hours is the length of time (in hours) spent working, including work conducted during the past week. The estimation starts from a day ago (7th day) 2 days ago (6th day), etc., up to 7 days ago (1st day), then sum up all the working hours.
Method of interviewing
For those who have an irregular job, it is best to ask every day starting from how many hours the day before, two days ago and so on until 7 days ago, then total all the working hours.
Working hours are the time period (in hours) used for working.
Move the code into the box as follows:
Box 74 and 75 used for entering total working hours during past week.
Explanation:
- For workers who do not have a regular work time, the working time is calculated starting from preparation until the series of work is over, minus the number of hours dedicated to break time and visiting a relative/friend's house.
Example
- Total working hours = 46,1 hour and rounded down to become 46.
Maximum number of working hours for each person is 98.
Question 29: Total working hours of main work during the past week
Write the total [number of] working hours for your main work during the past week. Total working hours in Question 29 should be equal to total working hours in Question 28.
Main work
If a person has only one job, that job must be recorded as the main job. If a person has more [than one job], the main job is based on the quantity of time [spent on each job.] If the time spent at each job is the same, the job that contributes the largest income is considered to be the main job. A person has more than one type of job if the management is done separately, except a food crop farmer who works for several food crop farmers (separate management) who categorized as [having] one job.
Example:
b. A teacher teaches in two schools, in the morning in a state high school and in the afternoon in a state secondary school. The teacher is categorized as having two jobs, which are a high school teacher and a secondary teacher, although the work status and field of work are the same.

Question 604: Total of working days and working hours from the entire work day during the past week
Total working hours is the length of time (in hours) used for working starting from work being conducted during the past week. The estimation starts from a day ago (7th day) up to seven days ago (1st day), then totaling all the working hours. If the respondent is temporarily not working fill in with a dash.
For those who have regular jobs and fixed working times, ask the following questions:
2. On Friday/Saturday/Sunday do you work the same average hours?
3. Have you ever been absent from work during the past week?
For those who have irregular jobs, it is best to ask every day starting from how many hours [they worked] yesterday, two days ago and so on until seven days ago, then total all the working hours.
[p.57]
From the information given, the enumerator can fill in the total working hours starting from day 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 until the 7th day. Write down the total working hours every day in the past week in Column 1, Column 2, etc., until Column 7 based on the days. The total [number of] workdays during the past week is written in the box "Total working days," and the total working hours during the past week is written in the box "Total working hours".

This section involves collection of labor statistics, mainly used for employment policies and programs and for projecting future labor force. The questions are asked to all persons aged 5 years and above and refer to the last seven days preceding the Census night. However, the reference period for those who held a job (on leave or on sick leave) falls outside the last seven days.
34.4 Column P44: Hours of work
This question applies to respondents whose response in column P42 is code 1? 7 and code 15. Hours usually worked is the typical value of hours actually worked in a job per short reference period such as one week, over a long observation period of a month, quarter, season or year that comprises the short reference measurement period used. The hours usually worked provides a way to obtain regular hours worked above contractual hours. The enumerator in this case should seek to establish usual hours worked in the last seven days. If a person has worked 5 hours per day for six days in the last 7 days, then the enumerator should record 30 hours (for a 6 days worked period). Note that for those who did not work in the last seven days but held a job, the enumerator should ask "How many hours does [the respondent] usually work in a week?" The week in this case is refers to the last seven days.

7.6 How many hours did (Name) work at the job(s) (activity (activities)) last week?
99. Does not know
Hours ____
7.6 Hours
This question has the objective of knowing the total number of hours that a person worked in the week before the date of the interview.
[p. 132]
Hours are understood to be the time that a person does the job or an economic activity, as it can be the sale of merchandise, making of products, rendering of a service, etc.
[graphic of the question from the census form]
Write down the hours that an informant tells you. If a person has two or more jobs, ask the question in the following manner: "How many hours did Pedro work at his jobs last week?"
Consider the following within hours worked:
Extra hours worked in the reference week.
Time dedicated to buying materials used in the activity or job, that is, buying primary material for doing an activity done in the established work schedule, is counted within the work week. Also time used by self employed workers for the buying, production and sale of articles, clothes, food, etc is counted here.
Do not consider the following aspects as hours working:
The time a person uses to eat. For example, employees who work a discontinued schedule (from 9 to 2 and 4 to 8 hours) who use one or two hours eating.
[p. 133]
The time that a person uses going from place of residence to work and the return to the dwelling.
For a person who in question 7.1 Condition of activity, indicated not working but had a job (code 2) the reference week, ask the number of hours that are habitually worked.
In cases where they declare only the schedule of work or the hour of arriving and leaving work, calculate with the informant the hours worked daily and the days worked, to get the total number of hours worked the week before the interview.
When an informant gives as an answer "works from time to time" or "does not have a schedule," which is the case of people who do not have a fixed place to work or they work in their own home, investigate the estimated daily time and the number of days worked in the week before the interview.
Example:
Interviewer: How many hours did María work at her activity last week?
Informant: She works a little while during the day, then she only watches animals in the afternoon.
Interviewer: Approximately how much time does she watch them?
Informant: About two hours.
Interviewer: How many days last week did she go to watch the animals?
Informant: Only three days
Interviewer: So she worked six hours last week?
Informant: Yes, that's right.
When the total number of hours that people work is equal to or higher than 98, write down 98 in the corresponding fields.
If after exhausting all possibilities to get an estimation, an informant does not know the hours worked, write down 99.
Now I am going to ask you about (name): ________
Copy the name of the person from section II
For person age 12 or older
[Questions 24-35 were asked of persons age 12 or older]

[Questions 24-35 are for persons age 12 or older]
31. Hours worked

Add the hours worked when the person has carried out more than one job the week before the data collection.
Solicit an approximated amount or an average, when he/she doesn't remember the hours worked or doesn't know the specific information.
In this section, information is obtained for each of the people living in the housing unit.
Before requesting data for each resident, copy the details from Section II. List people and general data, their names, gender, and age, and write them down in the spaces provided. Do not forget to correct the person number when using more than one questionnaire.
[Figure omitted: image with text]
For the respondent to know who to provide the information about, start with the sentence: "Now I'm going to ask you about...", and mention the name of the person you previously wrote down.
Apply questions 1 through 11 for all the people who are habitual residents, including children, as well as elderly people.
37. Worked hours

18. How many hours does/did the person work last week? _ _
Question 18: Hours worked
With this question we want to know how many total hours the person worked in the week before the census. If the enumerated person worked at more than one job, you should add up the hours worked in each job and note the total hours worked.
If the informant does not know the hours that the person works per week, you should ask how many days the person worked the week before, do the corresponding multiplication and note the answer.
If the enumerated person had work, but did not work during the reference week, you will note the normal number of hours that the person works per week.
If during the week before the census the person worked extra hours, you should add them up to obtain the total number of hours worked.
31. How many hours did [the person] work during the past week or the last week in which s/he worked? _ _
Question 31. How many hours did [the person] work during the past week, or the last week in which s/he worked?
Use two digits to write the number of hours s/he worked last week or the last week in which s/he worked. Put a "0" in front of numbers 1-9.
If the person performed more than one job, add the hours worked in each one and write down the total number of hours. For example, if the informant says that in the last week s/he worked 5 hours washing for others and 3 hours selling bread, write the answer as follows: "08".
19. How many hours did he/she work during the last week? ____
[Questions 13 - 18 were asked of persons 10 years of age and older.]

Hours ____
(Only for persons 10 years old or older)
Keep in mind that questions 13-18 of this section correspond only to persons 10 years old or older.
The answers obtained in question 13 are the basis for classifying the population of persons 10 years old or older as economically active (employed or unemployed) and as not economically active (homemaker, student, retired, pensioned, rentier, or other inactive persons).
The questions relating to the section are applied to the situation existing in the week immediately before the day of the Census (reference week).
Definition of reference week or "last week": It is the complete calendar week from Sunday to Saturday that for census purposes goes from May 3 to May 9, 1970.
Question 18 How many hours did you work last week?
This question is asked only to the person who claimed to have work last week in Question 13 and is classified in Question 15 as: Government Employee, Private Company Employee or Panama Canal Zone Employee (boxes 1, 2 or 3 respectively).
Write down in the corresponding space the total number of hours worked last week (the reference week: May 3 to May 9). For salaried farm workers try to get this information with as much precision possible. For those persons who were on vacation, were sick or on leave last week (the reference week) write down the number of hours worked during the last work week or that is before going on vacation or on leave or getting sick. Include overtime worked during the reference week always when they refer to the occupation declared in Question 14.
