Classified index to occupations : sixth census, 1921 / Dominion Bureau of Statistics.: CS12-506/1921E-PDF
“The present index to occupations, constituting a code of approximately 25,000 items, was prepared primarily for use in connection with the sixth decennial census of Canada. The list will also be utilized in preparing the occupational data of vital, judicial, immigration and other statistics. In this way comparability will be obtained between the occupational sections of the different statistical fields. The index forms an integral part of the general plan of classification adopted by the Dominion Bureau of Statistics, the starting point in which is the commodity classification, used in the presentation of the statistics of trade, production, prices, etc. The chief object of the present index is to differentiate the gainfully employed into the ten main industrial divisions, for the purpose of illustrating such points as the relative prevalence of the different industries in the several parts of the country, the relative growth of agriculture, transportation, trade, from the standpoint of population engaged, etc.”--Preface, p. [3].
