Yesterday we found out that the majority of those polled were self-employed. Today, we want to find out the types of jobs that those who are employed part-time, full-time and self-employed are engaged in ...

This is what we found out :

Labourer 16%

Tradesman 12%

Farmer 8%

Business person 6%

Shopkeeper 4%

Higgler, vendor 3%

White collar 3%

Hairdresser, barber 3%

Cashier, sales clerk 2%

Chef, waiter, waitress 2%

School teacher 2%

Based on these results, it is clear that most of the respondents are labourers. Perhaps, this is one of the most common professions and it encompasses a wide range of jobs. What is surprising is that only 2% said they were school teachers and only 3 % are white collar workers.

The poll was conducted on July 15 and 16 by Johnson Survey Research Limited.

Sample size: 1,008 residents

Age of sample : 18 and older
