Last week, did you do any work for either pay or profit?
La semana pasada, ¿hizo usred algún trabajo por paga o por lucro?
Some respondents knew the meaning of the word lucro, a marker for “profit.”
A few reported not knowing what the term meant. Many misinterpreted the term in the ACS
context. All of the respondents who misinterpreted lucro ascribed the term a negative
connotation. For example, they thought the term meant taking financial advantage of someone
else or some process, gaining something they did not earn or deserve, earnings they had obtained
through cheating or some illegal or unethical means.
