The Position Generator is used to gather information about the occupations of relatives, friends, and acquaintances in the person's social network. Acquaintances are people who the respondent knows by face and by name. The occupations, whether prestigious or not, make up the respondent's access to key social resources. The Position Generator used in the 2004 and 2006 U.S. Social Capital Surveys includes questions about 22 jobs and follow-up questions about anyone in the respondent's network who has that job. The interviewer asks the respondent if he/she knows anyone who has that particular occupation. If the respondent answers "yes" the interviewer asks a follow-up question about the relationship between the respondent and this person, how the respondent got to know the person, how long the relationship has existed, how close the relationship has been, and also about the gender and ethnic/racial background of the person.
