Abstract: Abstract A discussion of industrial employment, although commonly used to depict occupations (see Payne, 1986), provides only a partial picture of how groupings at various skill levels have expanded or contracted, The Census, albeit with confusing changes of categorisation, can be adapted to produce a decennial time-series which deals directly with occupations. This not only provides a grounding for the empirical analysis of occupational mobility, but also enables us to consider in more detail how the theory of industrial society accounts for occupational transition.
