l/ Pstinat.es for the Major Industry Groups (titles of rbich have, been capitalized),
have been adjusted to fina3 data for 1941 and pre.licdnary data for the second
quarter of 1)942 made avail:, ble by the Bureau of Employment Security of the Federal
Security Arency, and are not comparable rith dr.ta in mimeograpbed releases for
months prior to January 1943 and in. issues, of the Monthly Labor Review prior to
March 1943. Comparable series for earlier months are available upon request.
Estimates for individual industries have been adjusted to levels indicat'd by the
1939 Census of Manufactures, but not to Federal Security Agency data.
For this
reason, together rith the fact that.this Bureau has not prepared estimates for
certain industries, and does not publish warp earners in War Industries, the sum
of the individual industry eptimat.es rill not atree rith totals shorn for the
Major Industry Groups.
