Abstract

Occupation is what a worker does; industry is defined by the final product. The occupations of fitter, clerk, typographer and packer, for example, are followed in a multitude of different industries. The two main agencies for the compilation of manpower data are the Department of Employment and the Office of Population Censuses and Surveys (in conjunction with the General Register Office, Edinburgh). The Department of Employment collects data from employers, on a monthly or annual basis, the Census Office from heads of households in the decennial census of population.
