Thanks, Nora.  I was fine on 1840.  I just wasn't looking  carefully enough 
on 1820.

Jay,

Each family has information on 2 pages on the 1840 census.  On page 2 the 
the third main header, after "Slaves" and "Total" gives 7  columns of 
occupations in which members of the household may be employed.  It is 
hard to read on images of the census. Download a blank form from  
ancestry.com to read the exact wording of the headings.
