variations in the gross death rates of the different classes arc due to differences in the age distribution of the population engaged, as well as in the varying conditions under which the occupations are pursued.
The importance of taking into consideration the age distri- bution of the population contributing the deaths in comparing tlu death rates of persons engaged in different occupations will be seen from the following table which shows, for the rcgistra tion states, the number of males reported as.cngaged in each class of occupations, in the aggregate, and in each of four age groups ; tin- number of deaths among the same during the census year, and the percentage of the population and deaths in each age group.
