What is the difference between 技能 and 技術 in terms of 業務内容


I have a form for a medical check-up that asks what category best describes
the 業務内容 of your occupation.

One of the choices is 技術・研究 and another is 生産・技能.

A monolingual dictionary is of no help because it defines 技能 with 技術.  
I can't decide between

> Technology/Research and Manufacturing/Crafts  
>  and  
>  Engineering/Research and Manufacturing/Technical

but engineering for 技術 seems like a bit of a stretch, especially because I
don't see it being lumped together with research. 技能 being categorized with 生産
makes me think it's more along the lines of "skilled worker" but that's not a
category of occupation.

I also referenced [this Wikipedia page on categories of
occupations](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Standard_Classification_of_Occupations).
Which had **Skilled agricultural, forestry and fishery workers** and **Craft
and related trades workers**. I wondered if 技能 could be so broad as to include
both of these, but being put with manufacturing makes me think it is only
crafts.

So, when referring to an occupation, does 技能 mean something as specific as
crafts and is 技術 referring to all technical fields?  
Or is 技能 technical fields and 技術 more specific as in engineering?

Thank you for any help sorting this out.

Note: I have already seen [this
question](https://japanese.stackexchange.com/questions/3829/what-are-the-
differences-between-%E6%8A%80%E8%A1%93-and-%E6%8A%80%E8%83%BD). It didn't
help.




I'm not an expert in labor categorization, but as a layperson, I'd translate
技術・研究 as "Technology/Research" and it would include researchers, engineers,
analysts etc.

I'd translate 生産・技能 as "Manufacturing/Skilled-work", and it could indeed
include broad occupations like skilled agricultural, forestry and fishery
workers, Crafts and related trades workers, builders, cooks and so on. I think
this definition works well:

> worker who specializes in a particular occupation that requires work
> experience, on-the-job training, and often formal vocational education, but
> not a bachelor's degree

If there are other categories like 農業, of course, it would exclude
agricultural workes but I don't think it would be strange for agricultural
workers to be included in 技能 (same for other occupations I listed).
