(Part 2) British Jobs Classes

So I need to have 11 unique families of 4, with different jobs and classes that I can incorporate into their character designs to show a portrait of a more modern and relatable British culture in games.

I've listed occupations of previous 'Happy Families' games, and below, is some research I've done to determine my final 11 families.

Q 16 Mr. Dunne: How many people are employed in retail in the UK?

Jane Milne: About 3 million. It is about 11 per cent. of the work force altogether.

"As expected, the most generic titles 'Manager' and 'Project Manager' come first and second in the list, accounting for over 5,000 responses in total. Next comes the trusted 'Teacher'... "- http://www.mysalary.co.uk/most-common-jobs.php

Most popular UK jobs, and their average salaries: http://www.aboutmybusiness.co.uk/top-jobs-data.php

"Most journalists are women. Most authors are women. Most teachers, lab technicians, therapists, editors, librarians, public relations officers and insurance underwriters are women." - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-17287275

"Actually a recent study has shown that about 60% of the cleaning industry in London is covered by Bulgarian and Polish residents themselves" - http://www.cfsflooring.co.uk/the-most-common-jobs-that-immigrants-in-london-work.htm

Trying to be balanced as possible in class, gender, race and beyond, so I'll be going with my findings. I don't personally believe all Polish people in the UK are in cleaning or that they're not capable of more, but with my findings, it makes sense that the one Polish family I will have will have a job in that area. I am restricted by having only 11 families, of which only 1 is of Polish nationality.This is the reasoning and difficulties I'm facing with creating this game; I don't want unfair representations, but I am following statistics shown in the links above... edit: After afew people have seen my list, too many raised eyebrows for Polish cleaners. I'm going to ask the lecturer before I do it.

If any ethical issues arise or if I'm feeling insensitive in my work, I'll ask for help from my lecturer. For now, here are the families I've decided to work on for my version of 'Happy Families':

Retail - Middle Eastern

Pub Owners - Caucasian

Chemist - Asian

Unemployed - Caucasian

Teacher - Black

Banker - Caucasian

IT Manager - Indian

Police - Black

Taxi Driver - Middle Eastern

Cleaners - European Caucasian

Restaurant - European Caucasian
