Socio-professional demography of Saint-Genès-Champanelle

A graphic seen for each 6 catégory is much more speaking.

		Their number was divided by 6,7. Second category behind the workmen in 1962, in 1999, they represented nothing any more but 2,06 % of the working population.
		Since 1962, their number doubled, but they represent only 4,71 % of the working population. 1975 marked a strong increase in their installation whereas they have been attracted little befor by our commune but it is the retreat since 1982.
		Absent in 1962, the senior executive flowed especially since 1982 but do not work inevitably on the commune. They represented in 1999, 15,59 % of the working population.
		The professions intermediate or junior staff settled in a regular way untill taking the first places expressed in a percentage with 30,88%.
		The employed although having incomes less raised tha the 3 preceding categories are in second position behind the intermadiate professions. One notes a strong acceleration since 1975.
		The workmen were a long time the first social and economic category installed on the commune; that is certainly because of the industrial history of Clermont-Ferrand which, through the factories Michelin and Bergougnan, always supportted on the state of farmer with workman of the populations of the villages close to the agglomeration clermontoise. Often, the workmen, once returned on their premises, mainly began a second day in the firm behaviour with their wives and thus had a second auxiliary income. They in 1999, passed tothe 3rd rank.
