The occupations were entered into this database using numerical codes based on the Historical International Standard Classification of Occupations [HISCO]. The HISCO codes have been developed by the
History of Work Information System at the International Institute for Social History in The Netherlands. In cases where occupations were unique or distinct to this census - e.g. skating rink proprietor, opium manufacturer, joss house keeper - codes approximating HISCO classifications have been used.
