[APG Public List] Occupation in Census

[JFonkert at aol.com]

Thank you to those, and especially Kathleen Hinckley, who answered my  
question about occupational information in pre-1850 censuses.  The APG  always 
generates helpful responses.
 
If I had taken a bit more time, I probably would have figured out the  
correct answer.  I got confused because I was mixing up information about  the 
population and non-population schedules.  My copy of Kathleen's book is  
well-worn because I use it so often.  It seems to hold the answer to almost  any 
question I have about censuses.

On page 83  of my census book (Your Guide to the Federal Census) I describe 
the 1810 and  1820 manufacturers schedules; I do not indicate that 1830 had 
schedules.   These special schedules are separate from the population 
schedule.  On  page 84-85 of my book, I list where the originals are located for 
each state;  and on page 83 I reports that the manufacturing census 
including the owner's  name, location of establishment, number of employees, kind 
and quantity of  machinery, and capital invested.
 
Also, on  page 243 of my book, the questions asked on the 1820 population 
schedule did  include number of persons engaged in agriculture, commerce, or 
manufactures  for each line item.
