Just finished my final pass through of occupations in the To Be Added category. There are 342 occupations that still need to be sorted from there.

Common Problems I encountered:

- Vague occupations that have multiple possibilities i.e. Steward, Motorman, Linesman, Trimmer, Grader.

- Groups with no available HISCO categories i.e. No occupation provided, housewife, unemployed, self-employed.

- Occupations that I am unsure of how to categorize according to HISCO i.e. Shipper, Stipper, Grain Elevator Employee, Secret Service.

- Vague occupations i.e. Book, Fixer, Smith.

- Occupations I cannot figure out what they are i.e. Muddler, Open, Micaculler and Dress Attender.

Need to create new categories for:

Housewife

Trained Nurse, Housewife
