Q6-24

We'd like to ask you about the [(OTHER)()] employers for whom you have worked for pay since [01/1997].

There are two different job situations we would like you to think about.

The first is 'regular employment'.  This includes working as an employee for a company or business, working for a temporary agency, or working for your own business or farm.  Usually, this is the type of job situation where a person gets a paycheck from the employer.

The other type of situation is where you're working for pay, but there is no definite arrangement with a specific employer to work on a regular basis.  This includes situations where a person gets paid for doing what people often think of as 'odd jobs'.  Some examples include babysitting, repairing things, cleaning houses, and doing yard work.  If you have a job like this, where there is no employer name, please just tell us what your main activity is.
