The question on time taken to travel to work, reintroduced in the 1971 Census, was not retained for 1976, although questions on means of transport to work and location of workplace (both asked for the first time in 1971) have been repeated, along with the traditional hours of work topic. The department has previously published information on the labour force ... with Bulletin 2 (Provisional National Statistics) ... Bulletins 3-12 (Regional Bulletins), Bulletins 13 (New Zealand National Statistics) and 16 (Labour force), the latter containing some of the simpler tables contained in this volume ...
