The following table shows the proportion per thousand occupied and retired males in the various social classes in Harrow, in Middlesex and in the country as a whole:—
Class | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Harrow | 71 | 224 | 560 | 75 | 70 |
Middlesex | 50 | 185 | 572 | 94 | 99 |
England and Wales | 33 | 150 | 527 | 162 | 128 |
The comment in the census report in the Middlesex county figures
reads: "The higher proportion of men in Class 1 in Middlesex is a
feature which appears also in the distribution for other parts of London
and the South-Eastern Regions, and is probably due to the concentration
in and around the Metropolitan area of the higher administrative and
managerial functions of Government and the business world and of the
higher ranks of the legal, medical and some other professions. The
comparatively low proportion in Class 4 is due in part to the low representation
of agricultural occupations and to the absence of mining
activities."
