This was gleamed from StatsCan's site. In one of their teacher's kits. http://www.statcan.ca/cgi-bin/statcomment.pl Who do you think might need the information in the 1911 Census Occupations example? History researchers and history students might be interested in the information from the 1911 Census Occupations example. As you will see, statistical information can be presented in a variety of ways such as graphs, tables or illustrations. 1911 Census occupations This is a table of statistical information about the types of occupations available in Canada in the last century. It shows the number of Canadians who had particular occupations at the time of the 1911 Census. Note how some occupations were referred to at that time! Selected occupations, Canada: 1911 Census Occupation Males Females Bridge and gate tenders 436 2 Char-workers 12 4,700 Launderers and laundresses 588 282 Hotel keepers 3,102 848 Undertakers 43 0 Gardeners 469 18 Coachmen and grooms 418 0 Sailors and seamen 16,347 0 Match makers 72 178 Nurses 124 5,476 Stenographers and typists 1,603 9,754 Actors and theatrical employees 2,410 432 Musicians and teachers of music 2,001 3,574 Hucksters and peddlers 3,135 113 Total 30,760 25,377 ...................... I dug out an old dictionary (1942) and found that 'huckster' was used figuratively as, "One who makes petty or mean bargains," Wonder if they had any Hucksters involved in coming up with Bill S-13?
