1921 Census employment codes
Employment or industry was classified and coded by the Census Office for statistical purposes. These employment codes appear as annotations, in green ink, in the Employment column (col l in the standard household schedule such as C, E and W schedule type codes).
Employment codes fall within a range of 000 to 899, with X as a single alpha value outlier (X). The high-level order and more specific category in which each industry was placed by the Census Office clerks is shown in the table below.
