By D ecem b er 1958, nonfarm em ploym ent had reg ain ed alm o st 30 p e rc e n t of the 2 .4

The downturn in n onfarm em ploym ent in the e a rly m onths of 1958 was a continuation

The development and production of aircraft,

large number of establishments in several in­
dustries.
About three-fourths of the workers
in these activities, about 765,000 in September
1958, were in establishments in the aircraft
and p arts industry group.
This group is
divided into four major industries:

Aircraft

(end product assembly) plants with more than
460,000 workers; aircraft engine and engine
parts plants with nearly 155,000; aircraft
parts plants (except engine and propeller
parts) with more than 130,000;

and aircraft

propeller and prop e l l e r parts plants with
less than 20,000.

Various Types of Vehicles and Engines
Manufactured
Differing kinds of aircraft, guided m i s ­
siles, and spacecraft are produced, including:
Airplanes and helicopters; guided missiles,
which range from relatively small rockets
carried by and fired from airplanes to much
larger models fired from the surface of the
earth, from ships, or from submarines; and
