Collection methods: | This metadata item should only be collected from people whose labour force status is employed. Where a person has more than one occupation, the principal occupation is the one in which they work the most hours. Occupation is too complex and diverse an issue to fit neatly into any useable small group of categories. Therefore the ABS recommend that this metadata item be collected by using the following two open-ended questions:
The information gained from these two questions can then be used to select an appropriate code from the Australian Standard Classification of Occupations. The occupation code assigned is based on the main job held during the previous week (as per the questions above). |
