A University of Aberdeen project directed by Clive Lee systematically re-worked county-level occupation/industry data from all censuses 1841-1971 to the 1968 Standard Industrial Classification, distinguishing males and females.

Series B is for Administrative C...
ounties and is closely modeled on employment classifications used in the 1970s so sector 23 ('Distributive Trades') is much larger. Not all individual administrative county data are listed. Scottish counties were aggregated to the 1975-1996 regions and Welsh counties were grouped into 'Glamorgan and Monmouthshire' and 'North and West Wales'. As these are derived data, we hold Lee's data only for actual counties and nations already in our system.
