  • In the Professional Class are included persons returned as “Government officers”; but the figures given under this heading do not represent the full number employed by Government, the principle adopted having been to complete other groups where the scheme of classification required it, rather than to show the total number paid by Government. Thus, Postal and Telegraph officers are classified under “Transport and Communication,” in Class IV. Railway employees are similarly dealt with. The full statement of persons paid by Government but not included in Order 1, would comprise some or all of the following: Persons connected with charitable or benevolent institutions, hospitals and lunatic asylums, museums, education, life insurance, railways, harbours, lighthouses, post and telegraph and mines, also civil engineers, electricians, surveyors and assistants, architects and draughtsmen, printers and binders in the Government Printing Office, and artisans in Government Railway workshops.

† Not including primary producers grouped under Class VI.
