   Yes it does seem a bit odd. I suspect that when they were trying to   
   find how many people were employed in which occupations and industries   
   they needed standard terminology. So they often crossed out something   
   too specific and put in a more general description so they could count   
   it with the others, but this seems to go the other way.
