LEADING OCCUPATIONS 200 ons of males employed for the respective nativity groups is very slight. A com- few European nationalities raise the percentage of the Europeans to a figure irge as that for the Canadian born. 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 ible 128, p, 205. As has been pointed out, the proportion of females among ants is comparatively small as compared with the native Canadian population, 2t should be kept in mind in comparing the percentages for the various nativity er 50 pe. of all gainfully occupied women of Canadian birth appear in the 1p, practically all of whom were either in domestic or professional services. Of 7ed women, the British Possessions show the largest percentage in all services, ited States stand second, with Asia following a close third. Further, a larger Hf women from the British Possessions are in domestic service than of women ther group. Asia, the British Isles and Europe follow in order. The United che lowest proportion of all immigrant groups, showed 30.37. p.c. of their gain- +d women in domestic occupations, which was a proportion larger by a quarter 4 for the Canadian born. The Canadian born, on the other hand, led in the ‘women in professional work, and the United States born ranked second.

The numbers of Asiatic women gainfully occupied that the exception is not significant. v speaking, the bulk of immigrant women are in the service group, especially service, and considerable proportions are in manufacturing, notably in the tries. Of the remainder the largest proportion is engaged in trade.
