Estimates for the major industry groups have been adjusted to final data for
1941 and preliminary data for the second quarter of 1942 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, and does not publish wage earners in restricted war industries,
the sum of the individual industry estimates will not agree with totals shewn
for the major industry groups*
Unpublished information concerning the follovdng war industries may be obtained
by authorized IT S* Government agencies upon request: Aircraft engines; air
*
craft and parts, excluding aircraft engines* ammunition, smal1-arms; engines
and turbines; explosives and safety fuses; firearms; fireworks; instruments
(professional‘and scientific) and fire control equipment; optical instruments,
and ophthalmic goods; and shipbuilding and boatbuilding*
Revisions have been made as follows in tho data for earlier months:
Bolts, nuts, washers, and rivets
January through May 1944 wage earners to
29.4, 23*8, 28 •£ 3 27*9, and 27*3*
Paving materials - A p ril and May 1944 wage earners to 1*£ and -1*6*
