Table 1 . -Estimated dumber of Production Vforkors in Manufacturing Industries l / Cont*d
l/
Intimates for the map or industry :grcups\.have boon adjusted to levels indicated
by the final 1942 and -preliminary. 1943 data made available by the Bureau of
Employment Security of the Federal Security Agency* 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,
together with the fact that this Bureau'has not prepared estimates for
certain industries, the sum of the individual industry estimates v/ill not
agree with totals shown for the major industry groups* The tern "production
worker1* has been substituted for the terra "wage earner” which has been used
in t>ur previous* releases♦ This conforms with the terminology and standard
definitions of classes cf workers in manufacturing industries formulated by
the Division of Statistical*Standards of the U* S. Bureau of the Budget. The
use of "production 7 / o r k a r " in place of "wage earner" has 110 appreciable effect
on;-the employment estimates since* there is very little difference in the
definitions'.

used in our previous releases* This conforms frith the terminology and standard definitions
of classes of workers formulated by the Division of Statistical Standards of the U* S* Bureau

effect on the employment estimates in mining industries since there-is very little difference
in the definitions* In the povrer laundries and cleaning and dyeing industries, the omission
of driver-salesmen causes a significant differences New series are being prepared*
