ABSTRACT

T h e effects of the industrial make-up of Southampton, which results from the location of factors examined in the previous chapter, are shown by the census occupation figures. There were in 1921 59,900 males and 64,900 females over 12 years of age, and 51,700 of the former and 16,900 of the latter were returned as “occupied.” In what occupations were these engaged? What proportion were in well-paid regular jobs, and what proportion in casual and seasonal occupations?
