Duringthenineteenthcentury,occupationalinformationaboutwomenthatwasprovidedbytheUnitedStatescensus--apopulationcountconductedeachdecade--becamemoredetailedandpreciseinresponsetosocialchanges.Through1840,simpleenumerationbyhouseholdmirroredahome-basedagriculturaleconomyandhierarchicalsocialorder:

theheadofthehousehold（presumedmaleorabsent）wasspecifiedbyname,whereasotherhouseholdmemberswereonlyindicatedbythetotalnumberofpersonscountedinvariouscategories,includingoccupationalcategories.Likefarms,mostenterpriseswerefamily-run,sothatthecensusmeasuredeconomicactivityasanattributeoftheentirehousehold,ratherthanofindividuals.

The1850census,partlyrespondingtoantislaveryandwomen'srightsmovements,initiatedthecollectionofspecificinformationabouteachindividualinahousehold.Notuntil1870wasoccupationalinformationanalyzedbygender:

thecensussuperintendentreported1.8millionwomenemployedoutsidethehomein"gainfulandreputableoccupations."Inaddition,hearbitrarilyattributedtoeachfamilyonewoman"keepinghouse."Overlapbetweenthetwogroupswasnotcalculateduntil1890,whentherapidentryofwomenintothepaidlaborforceandsocialissuesarisingfromindustrializationwerecausingwomen'sadvocatesandwomenstatisticianstopressformorethoroughandaccurateaccountingofwomen'soccupationsandwages.
