Following is a response from Senior DHS Stata Specialist, Tom Pullum:

You are talking about what DHS describes as a "couples" or "CR" file. This file is normally produced by DHS and then made available where you found the IR and MR files. However, this Pakistan survey does not include the variables required to match partners. For example, mv034_1, mv034_2, etc., are empty.

The husband's occupation is v704 in the IR file. You will have to search through the variables in the IR file to see whether the work-related variable you are thinking of is there. That will be the only way to get it, because the merge is impossible.
