Table 1 .-Estimated Number of Production Workers in Manufacturing Industries if Con^'
1J
2/
Estimates for the major industry groups have been adjusted to levels indicated
by the final 1944 data made available by the Bureau rf Employment Security of
the Federal Security Agency and shculd net be compared with the manufacturing
employment estimates of production workers plus salaried employees appearing
in*Table 6. Data for the major industry groups are not comparable with data
published in mimeographed releases dated prior to April 1946 or the May 1946
issue of the Monthly Labor Review. Comparable series from January 1944 are
. presented in ..Table 15. Estimates for individual industries have been ad
justed to levels indicated by the 1939 Census ef 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 will not agree with the totals shown for
the major industry groups.
Hevisions have been made as follows in the date- for earlier months!
. Asbestos -products - November 1945 production workers to 14.5
- Fertilizers — October and November 1945 production workers to 20.7 and 21.1

Estimates include all full- and part-time vrsge and salary workers in
nonagricultural establishments »vho are employed during the pay period
ending nearest the 15th. of the month. Proprietor?, self-employed
persons, domestic servants, and personnel of the armed forccs are
excluded.

Estimates for manufacturing have been adjusted to levels indicated by final
1942 data made available by the Bureau of Employment Security of the Federal
Security Agency. Since the estimated number of production workers in
manufacturing industries have been further adjusted to final 1944 data,
subsequent to December 1942, the two sets of estimates are not comparable..

l / Estimates and indexes for the major industry groups have been adjusted to
levels indicated by the final 1944 data made available by the Bureau of Employment
Security of the Federal Security Agency and are not comparable with data published
in mimeographed releases dated prior to April 1946 or the May 1946 issue of the
Monthly Labor Review. The present adjustment, affects data from 1944 to the
present only. Eours and earnings data are not affected by tr*is adjustment.
