Table 1.-Estimated Number of Wage Earners in Manufacturing Industries l/- Cont'd
l/

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 Security 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 avail­
able 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 prepared estimates for certain industries, and does not publish
wage earners in war industries, the sum of the individual industry estimates
will not agree with totals shown for the major industry groups.

2/

Unpublished information concerning the following war industries may be obtained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„ electricand^steam-railroad; communication equipment; electrical equipment; engines and
turbines; explosives and safety fuses; fire extinguishers; firearms; fireworks;
locomotives; machine-tool accessories; optical instruments and ophthalmic
goods; professional and scientific instruments and fire control equipment;
radios and phonographs; and shipbuilding.

3/

Revisions have been made as follows in the data published for earlier months:
Tin cans and other tinware - January to June 1943 wage earners to 28.1, 29.1,
2314, 30.1, Si. 1, and 33.0.
Curtains, draperies, and bedspreads - November 1942, April and May 1943 wage
earners to 1*7.9, I6.6 , and 17.9.
Housefurnishings, other than curtains, etc.- September 1942 to April 1943 wage
earners to 16.5, 17.0, lV.4, 17.5, 16.9, 16.6, 16.5, and 15.5. August 1943
wage earners to 14.1.
