1930 Census -- Occupation Codes

Deciphering Occupation Codes Appended to the 1930 Census in One Step
Stephen P. Morse, PhD Joel D. Weintraub, PhD David R. Kehs, PhD

The following codes have been summarized from the 200+ page 1930 Census Bureau publication "Classified Index of Occupations". These codes were put on the census pages well after the enumeration was done, and therefore provide no additional information. However, sometimes knowing the code can help you determine the occupation in cases where the quality of the microfilm is poor or the handwriting of the enumerator is difficult to read.

These codes were transcribed by C. Marie Taylor of the Family History Library in Salt Lake City.

Deep Linking
Deep linking refers to one website going directly (linking) to an internal page at another site rather than going to that site’s home page. For example, the site being linked to might be a catalog store with separate pages describing each item it is selling. The linking site might be a competitor selling the same products. Rather than having it’s own descriptions of the merchandise, it deep-links to the descriptions that the other site already put on the web.
