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

l / Estimates for the major industry groups have been adjusted to fin a l data for
1841 and preliminary data 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 ad justed to levels indicated by the 1039
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 ind ustries, the sum of the individual industry estimates w ill not
agree with totals s h o w n /o r th e -major industry groups*
2 / Revisions have been made as follows in the data for e arlie r months:
Forgings, iron and steel - June and Ju ly wage earners to 3 7 .0 and 3 5 ,5 .

3/

Comparable data for the months from January 1939 are available upon request*
