Column 39: This column is closely related to column 33, which means that the notes in column 39 refer to the type of business or activity in which the person works, and should refer to the occupation that he/she has. For example, if you have written 'farmer' in column 33, in column 33 you should write, for agricultural farm.

Type of Activity
(Very Important)
Column 39. Annotations of great importance are made here; for this reason one must proceed very carefully. The object is to specify where the enumerated works - that is to say, what type of company, business, or activity - such that the annotations in this column serve to complete the information given [P. 30] in column 33. For example: if it was written in column 33 that the enumerated is an agriculturalist, agricultural farm should be written in column 39. The proper names of stores or businesses should not be written.
For cases in which the enumerated is looking for work for the first time, "New Worker" should be written in column 39. Due to the great importance of the concepts "principal occupation," "job position or category," and "type of activity," the following is a list that will serve as a guide, so that the enumerator will be able to correctly classify the enumerated regarding their principle occupation.
