There isn't a standard, but we're probably the right group to start
discussing one. At Mind's Eye Fiction, our registration form asks three
questions related to occupation:

Occupation: White Collar:

<SELECT NAME="whitecollar"><OPTION VALUE="Y"> Yes<OPTION VALUE="-" SELECTED>
No answer<OPTION VALUE="N" > No</SELECT>

Do you work from home, but work for a company?

<SELECT NAME="corphome"><OPTION VALUE="Y"> Yes<OPTION VALUE="-" SELECTED> No
answer<OPTION VALUE="N" > No</SELECT>

Do you have a home-based business?

<SELECT NAME="selfhome"><OPTION VALUE="Y"> Yes<OPTION VALUE="-" SELECTED> No
answer<OPTION VALUE="N" > No</SELECT>

A standardization effort should standardize the basic questions that
everyone wants to know, while including a rational framework for questions
specific to each site's focus.
