open access
Abstract
The following tables are constructed from the statistics of the ninth census. The first able shows what per cent of the population over ten years of age, and what percentage of all persons in certain typical occupations, was composed of natives, what per cent was composed of the four leading races of European immigrants-that is, of British (including English, Scotch, and Welsh), Irish, German, and Scandinavian-and what percentage was composed of other immigrants. The second table shows what percentage of the natives and of each of the four European races entered the selected industries.
