Documentation Author:

Humphrey Southall

Chronology:

The data are for the single year 1971.

Sources:

1. This table holds data entirely derived from Table 3, "Industry and status by area of workplace and sex (10% sample)" for "Planning sub-regions, cities, counties, large burghs, county remainders, conurbation centre, new towns", as published in the Scottish 1971 Economic Activity Tables. as held in our table ind_1971_lg_t, but reclassified to the 2007 Standard Industrial Classification.
2. The table includes national totals for Scotland.

Notes:

1. The data are from a 10% sample, but have been multiplied by 10 to get a population estimate.
2. The table holds data for the same units as are in the source table, but NB the county figures are for residual areas after the figures for any burghs have been deducted.
3. Each of the detailed industrial categories listed in the source table has been assigned to one of the 'Divisions' in the 2007 Classification, using the ind_1971_codebook table. This table also includes the simpler SIC 'Sections'. so it can easily be grouped into those.

Checking:

1. This table was derived programmatically from ind_1971_s, which has been carefully checked.
