Estimates for the Major Industry Groups (titles of which have been
capitalized), have been adjusted to final data for 1941 and preliminary data
for the second quarter of 1942 made available by the Bureau of Employment
Seourity 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 1943. Comparable series for earlier
months are available upon request. 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 preparod estimates for certain industries
and does not publish wage earners in W a r Industries, the sum of the
individual industry estimates will not agree with totals shown for the
Major Industry Groups.




Table 1 Cont'd-Estimated Number of Wage Earners in Manufacturing Industries l/
Unpublished information concerning the following war industries may be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-railroad; Communication equipment; Electrical
equipment; Engines and turbines; Explosives and safety fuses; Fire
extinguishers; Firearms; Fireworks; Locomotives; Machine-tool accessories;
Machine tools; Optical instruments and ophthalmic goods; Professional and
scientific instruments and fire control equipment; Radios and phonographs;
and Shipbuilding.
3/ Number of wage earners for February 1943 revised to 28.7.
