Description
Main jobs are those jobs worked the most hours in. It will be up to respondents to select which jobs are their main jobs but they will be instructed to base it on the number of hours worked. Also, if a job is selected with an employment status that corresponds to unpaid family worker and the respondent has more than 3 current jobs, they will be informed that we are more interested in other jobs, that they receive income for (or words to that effect). If the person works for a temping agency, the temping agency is considered to be the employer, and the occupation will be the main type of work the person does.
