few European nationalities raise the percentage of the Europeans to a figure

service group the Asiatics lead through having such a large proportion of their 
nales engaged in personal and domestic services. The numbers in custom, repair 
ional work are negligible. !The relatively high percentages for those from the 
s and British Possessions appearing in the service classification are due mainly 
astic and personal service and the professional service branches. With the excep- 
male immigrants from the British Isles and the British Possessions, the proportion 
1 born males in professional work is greater than for all other groups. 
titish Possessions sent a larger proportion of their men to our manufacturing 
han any other nativity group, the British Isles and Asia ranking second and 
tively. Male immigration from the United States shows the lowest percentage 
ufacturing industries, as is to be expected from the predominantly agricultural 
wmmigration from that country. The proportion of European born males in 
ng occupations is about equal to the proportion of the Canadian born. A 
alysis by provinces would be very useful and it is hoped that such may be 
a later date. 
words remain to be said regarding the distribution of the employed females as

ants is comparatively small as compared with the native Canadian population,
