NOTE : The "Gainfully occupied" rather than the "Labour force" concept was used prior to 1951 for determining the labour force status. The labour force figures exclude a few persons seeking work who have never been employed. Occupations for 1931 and 1941 were rearranged on the basis of the 1951 classification, though Some adjustment of the 1951 occupations was necessary. The 1941 figures in this Table do not include persons on active service on June 2, 1941.
