Estimates for the major industry groups have been adjusted to fin a l data for
1941 and preliminary delta for the second quarter of 1942 made available by the
Bureau of Employment Security of the Federal Security Agency. Estimates for
individual industries have been adjusted to levels indicated by the 1939
Census of M a n u f a c t u r e s b u t not to Federal Security Agency data*
For this
reason, together with the fact- that t*his Bureau has not prepared estimates
for certain i n d u s t r i e s t h e sum of the individual industry estimates w ill not
agree w ith totals shown for the major industry groups.

Metal doors, sash*
frames* moldingt and trim - July 1944 wage earners to 13 .4
Sugar, beet - August 1944 wage- earners to 4..8
