Interviewer instructions

The purpose of this item is to separate first time job seekers from persons who worked sometime in the past but are now unemployed. As the subsequent columns will be used to record the details of last employment, this last employment will mean having more or less regular work at least for some time in the past. Thus, among the unemployed, those who had worked at least for sometime in the past according to either the usual principal activity status or the usual subsidiary economic activity status, i.e., those who worked at least for 30 days in a long reference period of 365 days will be given code 1 in column (4).
