l / E stiniatc s for the nr.j or industry'groups liav- been adjusted. to levels -indicated
by tho final 1943 data jnado available by the Bureau of Enploynent Security
of tho Federal Security Agotfcy and should not be compared with the nanufaoturing enploynor.t estimate-s of production worlre-rs plus salaried eir.plcyec s
appearing in Table 6 . Estimates .for individual industries rxive boon adjusted
to levels indicated by the 1939 Census cf Manufactures, but not to Federal
Security Agency data. For this reason, together vrith tho fact that this Bureau
has not prepared ostiriiatas for certain industries, the sun of the individual
industry estiaates will not agree m t h totals shown for the raajor industry
groups.
