Another approach to the same problem of industrial distribution is shown in the following tables, which show the occupational distribution of the population from 1901 to 1945. The first table shows the industrial distribution of occupied males :
Table No. 63.—Table showing Occupied Males (excluding Maoris) engaged in Main Industrial Groups, from 1901 to 1945
* Primary industry lias been subdivided into (a)' farming pursuits, and (b) other primary production (mining, fishing and trapping, forestry, &c.), since these show somewhat different trends. Secondary industry includes the primary processing industries, manufacturing, building and construction, and gas, .water, and electricity production and supply. Tertiary industry includes services other than those mentioned above, such as transport and communication, commerce and finance, public administration and professional, entertainment, accommodation, personal and domestic services, &c. Persons of independent means, pensioners, and other dependent persons, and those whose occupations have not been specified in the census returns, are not included.
The next table shows the distribution of occupied females: —
Table No. 64.—Table showing Occupied Females (excluding Maoris) in the Main Industrial Groups from 1901 to 1945
Note. —Since the number of females engaged in other primary industries is so small no separate classification was made of this group. They are included in " Primary industry." Farmers' waves and other relatives assisting on farms are not included.
