For the measurement of the income-generating capacity of different jobs, there should be consistency between the data on employment in a given job and the data on income generated by that job. Data should therefore be collected on: (i) the characteristics of the job (industry, occupation, employment status), type of enterprise (individual enterprise, partnership, corporation, etc.), employment size and sector (e.g. informal or formal sector, public or private sector); (ii) the volume of labour input in the job (duration of employment and time worked); and (iii) the amount of income generated by that job.

In order to analyse the relationship between employment and the well-being of individuals, data are needed for each person: (i) separately on the main and any additional jobs carried out during the reference period; (ii) the income derived from each of these jobs; (iii) the socio-economic characteristics of individuals: age, sex, education and skill level, etc.; and (iv) any spells of unemployment or periods of being out of the labour force that an individual may have experienced during the given reference period.

	170	+1. For each job, working time should be, expressed in the number of hours, days, weeks, etc., during which the activity has been carried out. Where the activity is carried out by several contributing family workers and income is the result of a joint labour input (e.g. in household enterprises), efforts should be made to measure the number of hours, days, weeks, etc., worked by each member.
	171	+1. At the individual level, employment-related income should be measured for each job carried out during the reference period, whether in employment for pay or for profit, together with the corresponding labour input in each activity. During a one-year reference period, individuals may be, for different periods, employed, unemployed and out of labour force during which some or no employment-related income accrues. Each of these periods should be identified, account being taken of all jobs performed, including casual or simultaneous employment. The main situations may be classified into broad categories relevant to the measurement of employment-related wellbeing (or hardship).
