l/ Estimates for the Major Industry Groups (titles cf *..]
hav^ been capitalized),
have been adjusted to final data for 1941 and pr-l*'.iiinaij data for the second
quarter of 1942 made available by the Bureau of Employment Security of the
Federal Security Agency, and are not comparable with data in mimeographed
releases for months prior to January 1943 and in issues of the Monthly Labor
Review prior to March 1945. Comparable series for earlier months are availa
ble upon request. Estimates for individual industries have been adjuster to
levels indicated by the 1959 Census of Manufactures, but not to Federal
Security Agency data. For this reason, together ivith the fact that this
Bureau has not prepared estimates for certain industries, and does not publish
wage earners in War Industries, the sum cf the individual industry estimates
will not agree %vith totals shown for the Major Industry Groups.

Unpublished information concerning the following war industries may be obtained
by" authorized agencies upon request: Aircraft engines; Aircraft and parts,
excluding'engines; Alloying; Aluminum manufactures; Ammunition; Cars, electric
and steam-rail road; Communication equipment; Electrical equipment; Engines an-'!
turbines; Explosives and safety fuses; Fire extinguishers; Firearms; Fireworks
Locomotives; Machine-tool accessories;' Optical instruments and ophthalmic
goods; Professional and scientific instruments and fire control equipment;
Radios and phonographs; and Shipbuilding.

June 1943 of approximately 7,000 employees of the War Shipping Administration
who were previously unreported.
