DDS Entity Definition: V_OCC_RAW1841

Name:

1841 Occupational Titles

Identifier:

V_OCC_RAW1841

Type:

Variable (V)

Text:

The 1841 census was the first to systematically gather occupational data via a household enumeration, and did not develop an occupational classification as understood by later censuses. Instead, they reported many individual occupational titles plus some ad hoc groupings which varied between counties. The GBH GIS project has computerised these listings in their entirety. We have standardised the punctuation and capitalisation of the occupational titles, but have preserved all the various original wordings. This variable therefore has 3,520 categories, although only some of these appear for any given county.
