NOTE: (1) The figures contained in this statement may include persons normally employed in an industry other than the building trade e.g., a carpenter employed in the agricultural machinery industry.
(2) The occupational classifications maintained at Local Offices do not permit of a more detailed analysis e.g., plumbers, glaziers and gasfitters are grouped together.
(3) The figures may include a number who are not fully-qualified tradesmen.
