September 1946 estimates are based on reports from 33,200 cooperating establish
ments covering 7,268,000 production workers. Estimates for the major industry
groups-have been adjusted to levels indicated by final 1944 data 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 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., the sum 'of the individual industry estimates will not agree with
the totals shown Tor the major industry groupsc
