Poll question: What Sector do you work in?
Just wanted to get a broad view of where DU'ers work

This is not so much about function - you could be Business owner, CEO or Doorman ..

If you are a consultant - Pick the Industry that you work in.

I only have 10 options here so I cannot get too granular. I am lumping a few together ( Business Services for eg)

1. I'm an Other.
In forms that list this type of thing, I usually fall under a category called something like "Arts/Entertainment/Media."

9. Does the results in survey so far, mean that store clerks are not democrats?
Edited on Fri Sep-25-09 02:11 PM by TheCoxwain
I forgot -- they dont sit in front of a computer and respond to surveys on DU?


And Real Estate Brokers? - They are out of business

Should be interesting to check whether the responses of the survey is different in the evening.
