Ask the persons with the "Yes" option. "What is your status at your primary job?" Inform the respondent of all the prompts and let him/her choose the appropriate answer.
If a respondent had more than one job (paying occupation), ask him/her to identify a job he/she him/herself considers to be the primary job.
If the respondent finds difficulty in identifying the primary job, it is the one where he/she worked most of the time, or the one yielding larger income.
Those who changed the main job during the reference week, should identify the job he/she was doing by the end of the week.
