Geography:
Reporting units are identified by:
   Administrative County

Chronology:
The data are for the single year 1951.

Sources:

  1. The data are taken from Table 21, 'Selected Occupations with Status Aggregates - abridged analysis', for 'Conurbation divisions and sub-divisions, Urban Areas with population of less than 50,000, R.Ds., New Towns', pp. 346-463 in Census 1951 England and Wales: Occupation Tables (London: HMSO, 1956).

Notes:

  1. This is a complete transcription of the table. It was made by the Centre for Data Digitisation and Analysis, autumn 2000.
  2. The table includes data for New Towns, with lg_type='NT'. These should be excluded in any calculation of county totals.

Checking:

  1. The total population aged over 15 was checked against the sum of the occupied and the retired.
  2. The total occupied was checked against the sum of the status groups, i.e. employers, managers, operatives, self-employed and unemployed.
  3. The total occupied was checked against the sum of the occupational orders. The following districts failed this check due to printing errors in the original: Kington RD (Herefordshire), Boston RD (Lincolnshire Holland), Alton RD (Hampshire), Tregaron RD (Cardiganshire)
  4. NB figures for sub-divisions of the occupational orders have not been checked.
