Part 1: Industry and Occupation Coding
Instructions:
To accurately code the industry and occupation (I&O) data
collected through both the labor force and supplement interviews,
the coders in Jeffersonville often need more detailed information
than what the respondents provide. Perhaps you would know what
to probe for if you had some idea of what the coders' job entails.
In the following exercise, the I&O items are illustrated for
your convenience, and then you are given five different
sets of answers to those items.
Assume you are a coder in Jeffersonville, and assign one industry
code and one occupation code for each of the five cases.
Based on the set of answers given for each case, choose the appropriate
I&O codes from the abbreviated lists shown on pages 5-10 and
write the codes in the spaces provided under the answers for each
case. Note that the letters "n.e.c." mean "not
elsewhere classified," and that they are used to identify
the "general" category into which an industry or occupation
must be classified when there is not enough information to assign
a more specific code.

at your main job?
