Table 1.-Estimated Number of Wage Earners in Manufacturing Industries l/-Cont'd
l/ Estimates for the Major Industry Croups (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 E m p l o y m e n t 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 hot publish
wage earners in War Industries,.the sun 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Unpublished information concerning the following war industries may be obtained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; electric
and 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.
—
2/ Revisions have been made as follows in the data published for earlier months:
Metal doors, sash, frames, molding.and trim *- June 1943 wage earners to 12.7
Screw-machine products and wood screws - September 1942 to June 1943 wage
earners to 47.4, 48.57*49.0, 49.1, 4^.4, 50.2, 50.0, 49.7, 49.8, and 50.4
Motorcycles, bicycles, and parts - September 1942 to June 1943 wage earners
to 9.3, 9.0, 9.2, 9.3,"9.6, 10.0, 1 0 a , 10.0, 9.9, and 9.7
Canning* and preserving - June 1943 wage earners to 109.1
4-/ Data- for earlier months back to January, 1939 published in September 1943 issue
of Monthly Labor Review (page 485), or may be obtained in mimeographed form
