[APG Public List] Occupation in Census

[JFonkert at aol.com]

I'm confused, and hoping someone can help.  Hinckley and others say  that 
the 1820 and 1830 censuses collected information on the number of people  
within each household engaged in agriculture, commerce or manufacturing.  I  
know that the 1820 and 1830 censuses gathered aggregate statistics (of not  
particularly good quality), and the 1840 census expanded the count to other  
industries, but I have never seen counts within families.  Am I missing  
something?
