Thus 85.3 per cent of the gainfully occupied Indians were engaged in these two general divisions of occupations. Transportation gave employment to 2.6 per cent of the total, and domestic and personal service to 6.2 per cent, no other general division of occupations giving employment to as many as 2 per cent of the Indian workers. For the males, as for both sexes combined, agriculture, forestry, and animal husbandry gave employment to the largest proportion of the Indians, 78.7 per cent, and manufacturing and mechanical industries ranked second, with 9.8 per cent. Manufacturing and mechanical industries were the most important field of employment for the female Indian workers in 1910, 41.9 per cent of them being engaged in this branch of occupations, as compared with 30.2 per cent in agriculture, forestry, and animal husbandry, and 23.7 per cent in domestic and personal service. Occupations, by sex.— ^Table 105 shows, for the United States and for Alaska, the number and sex of the Indians 10 years of age and over engaged in specified occupations and occupation groups in 1910. Table 105 shows that in 1910 the Indians of the United States were employed in a rather large number of occupations. Their occupations also were quite diversified, ranging all the way from unskilled labor to some of the highest proprietary, official, skilled, and professional pursuits, such as manufacturers, bankers, United States officials, mechanical engineers, locomotive engineers, telegraph operators, actors, artists, clergymen, college professors, lawyers, and physicians and surgeons. But notwithstanding this diversity of the Indian occupations, it is nevertheless true that the great mass of the Indian workers in the United States were engaged in a comparatively small number of occupations. Almost 7 out of every 10 (69.1 per cent) of the gainfully occupied Indians in 1910 were engaged in agriculture, forestry, and animal husbanchy. Of the 225 occupations and occupation groups shown in Table 105, there were only 39 that were pursued by lOf or more Indians. Ten of these occupations gave employment to 82.3 per cent of the Indians in gainful occupations, and 85.4 per cent of the total were employed in one of seven different large occupation groups: Agricultural laborers (35.5 per cent), farmers and stock raisers (29.2 per cent), lumbermen, raftsmen, and woodchoppers (2.4 per cent), laborers in manufacturing and transportation (6.3 per cent), basket makers and weavers (7.4 per cent), launderers and laundresses (1.9 per cent), and servants and waiters (2.6 per cent). For Alaska, Table 105 shows that while the gainfully occupied Indians in 1910 were engaged in 85 different occupations and occupation groups, ranging all the way from fishermen and hunters to manufacturers, Federal officials, clergymen, and school teachers, 9 out of every 10 (90.1 per cent) were engaged in one of nine different occupations and occupation groups: Fishermen (24.1 per cent), reindeer herders and keepers (2.7 per cent), gold and silver mine operatives (2.2 per. cent), laborers in the building 'and hand trades (3.2 per cent), laborers and semiskilled operatives in fish curing and packing (5.2 per cent), basket and moccasin makers (1.5 per cent), retail dealers (1.5 per cent), hunters, trappers, and guides (47.8 per cent), and servants (1.9 per cent). Thus in 1910 fishing, hunting, trapping, and guiding still gave employment to over seven-tenths (71.9 per cent) of the gainfully employed Indians of Alaska.
