Questions and instructions

Pre question

Now I would like to ask you some questions about any work you may be doing now or have done in the past. I will ask some questions about the type and amount of your current or past work, benefits, if any, you may be receiving or have received from your work, and the reasons for why you may not be working currently.

Literal question

As you know, some people take jobs for which they are paid in cash or kind. Other people sell things, have a small business, or work on the family farm or family business. Have you ever in your life done any of these things or any type of work (not including housework)?
