DDS Entity Definition: V_OCC_RAW1881

Name:

1881 Occupational Titles

Identifier:

V_OCC_RAW1881

Type:

Variable (V)

Text:

This variable contains the 414 occupational titles included in the most detailed occupational listings in the 1881 census reports. These do not, of course, include all the occupations people reported in 1881: the 1881 census project at the University of Essex found c. half a million unique strings within the transcription of the census enumerators' books created by the Genealogical Society of Utah, which they then tried to assign to the 414 categories in the reports. Because this variable is intended for use with both the published tables and data created for us by the Essex project from the enumerators' book data, it includes two further categories to cover difficult cases in the latter: 'Occupation recorded but of unknown meaning' and 'Blank field, or illegible'. In the published tables, the 414 occupation titles were grouped first into sub-Orders, then into 24 Orders and finally into six Classes.
