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.
