Estimates for the Major Industry Croups (titles of -which have been
capitalized), have been adjusted to final! date for 1 % 3 and preliminary data
f<.r the second quarter of 1 % 2 made available by the Bureau of Lmployr:ent
Sf ^urity of the Federal Security Agency, and are not comparable rith data
in ""txeofTaphed releases for months prior to January 19/.3 and in issues of
+he Monthly Labor Review prior to March 1943. Cor par able series for earlier
months are available upon request. Estimates for individual industries
have been adjusted to levels indicated by the 1939 Census of Manufactures,
but not to Federal Security Agency data. For this reason, torether with
the fact that this Bureau has not prepared estimates for certain industries,
and does not publish ware earners in War Industries, the sue of the
individual industry estimates rill not a free with totals shov=n for the
Major Industry Groups.
