Occupation
Notes:
- Computer (29.1%) and Educational (30.9.7%) occupations still represent
the majority of respondents, though Educational has taken the lead over Computer
occupations on the Web. Professional (19.9%), Management (10.2%), and
"other" occupations (9.8%) fill out the other categories.
- Europeans tend to be predominantly in Education (33.8%) and Computers
(33.6%) were as the US sample contained more Professionals (20.4%).
- Educational responses gained heavily since the Third Survey, 30.9% compared
to 23.7%. This again paints the picture that the Web is no longer dominated
by computer related users and more so by the Educational and
general public.

- Weekend users tend to less employed in Computer related jobs (25.5%) and
more so in Management positions (11.5) than the weekday sampled population,
(29.9% and 9.9% respectively) though Educational Weekend users still
dominate in both segments (30.9% Weekday and 30.9% Weekend).
