Table 1 .-Estimated Number of Production Worker's in Manufacturing Industries l / Cont'd
•l/
October ’1946 estimates are based on reports from 33,700 cooperating establish
ments covering 7,378,000 production workers.. Estimates for the major industry
gr'oups have been adjusted to levels indicated by final 1944 data mn.de 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 Manufactures but not to Federc. 1 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.
