Study 4017 - Census Statistics: Employment, 1841 - 1931

While data on demographic variables appears in remarkably similar form in successive censuses, occupational data varied greatly both in terms of reporting units and in how occupations were classified. Research by Clive Lee at Aberdeen sought to create a consistent set of statistics at county level, and the resulting data are held in 'lee_emp', but a similar exercise for lower-level reporting units is impractical, hence the range of tables listed here.

Tables described in this section:

'lee_emp': Clive Lee's standardised County Statistics, 1841-1931

'emp1901m': Town-level Statistics for 1901 Males

'emp1901f': Town-level Statistics for 1901 Females

'emp1911m': Town-level Statistics for 1911 Males

'emp1911f': Town-level Statistics for 1911 Females

'emp1921': Male and Female Statistics for 1921 Local Government Units
