1921 Census - occupation codes

1921 Census occupation codes

Occupations were coded by the Census Office for statistical purposes. These occupation codes appear as annotations, in green ink, in the Personal Occupation column (col k in the standard household schedule such as C, E and W schedule type codes).

Occupation codes fall within a range of 000 to 999, with X as a single alpha value outlier. The high-level order and more specific category in which each occupation was placed by the Census Office clerks is shown in the table below.

An occupation code is usually followed by a forward slash and an extra digit. These occupation code suffixes after the slash indicate employment status. The suffixed codes are as follows:

/0 = not employed - in education etc
/1 = not employed - unpaid domestic duties etc
/2 = employer - not working at home
/3 = employer - working at home
/4 = self-employed (own account) - not working at home
/5 = self-employed (own account) - working at home
/6 = employed - not working at home
/7 = employed - working at home
/8 = unemployed

You may see occupation codes with the alpha prefix Y, which means that the individual is retired or no longer gainfully employed.
