Ochiltree County, Texas

[Filuwaúrdjan]

35% of people in Ochiltree are employed in primary industries, yet only 6% are in occupations deemed by the census gnomes to be specific to agriculture, fishing and forestry. So we're either talking oil-and-or-gas territory here, or an area with a very high ratio of farmers to agricultural workers.

Aha.

Further checking shows about 18% of the workforce to be employed in "mining" (a majority of those employed in primary industries). I'm pretty sure that oil extraction is counted as mining by the census gnomes.

Oil extraction is counted as mining?

Yes.

Yes... but from the position of the census gnomes it makes sense. Not that it does from any other position, really.
