The final reports of the 1960 Population Census are arranged in three volumes and a joint Population-Housing series of census tract reports. Volume II (Series PC(2) reports) are Subject Reports. Each report concentrates on a particular subject. Detailed information and cross-relationships are generally provided on a national and regional level. In a few reports, data for States or standard metropolitan statistical areas are also shown.
This report, designated as PC(2)-7A, presents detailed national statistics on selected economic and social characteristics of men and women workers in each occupation. The statistics in this report are based on a 5-percent sample of the population and provide a broad basis for analyzing many of the factors affecting the occupational composition of the Nation's work force.
In describing the social and demographic composition of the Nation's workers, data on such characteristics as age, race and color, State of birth, school enrollment, educational attainment, marital status, household relationship, size of family, and number of own children for women ever married are presented for each occupation. Also presented for each occupation are data on such economic characteristics as employment status, hours worked, weeks worked in 1959, year last worked, industry, class of worker, and income in 1959, and, for household heads, the rent of the renter-occupied nonfarm housing unit. Some of these data are shown for urban and rural residence.

Census statistics date back to 1790 and reflect the growth and change of the United States. Past census reports contain some terms that today’s readers may consider obsolete and inappropriate. As part of our goal to be open and transparent with the public, we are improving access to all Census Bureau original publications and statistics, which serve as a guide to the nation's history.
