Descriptive characteristics for the main job

Once the currently economically active persons have been identified, the remaining economic topics refer only to that subset of the total in-scope census population. Two major issues must be decided: which job or jobs associated with the person should be the focus of the questions, and whether to put those questions to only the currently employed or to both the currently employed and the unemployed. The relevant characteristics of a job include status in employment, occupation, and place of work.
