A rea.....................32 (IV) Bulletin N o. 826 of the U nited States Bureau of Labor Statistics Impact o f the W ar on Employment in 1 8 1 Centers o f W ar Activity This bulletin presents estimates of wartime changes in employment in 181 areas. Data previously released (mimeographed) on 72 of the areas are included. Similar data for more recent months will appear later. The periods chosen for employment comparisons are April 1940 (for which data are available from the United States Census of Population); November 1943 (a month near the peak of war production); May 1944; and September 1944. Estimates of civilian employment in manu facturing establishments and in other nonagricultural establishments are given for these dates for each area. Estimates of employment in several of the more important industries in each area are presented separately, wherever this can be done without disclosing data from individual firms. Employment in military and naval establishments is also shown separately in areas where such employment is relatively large. United States Census estimates of population for November 1943 are given for comparison with April 1940 population in each area. In compiling the estimates of area employment presented herewith, the Bureau has supplemented its manufacturing employment statistics for metropolitan districts with other employment statistics that it collects currently and with data from the War Manpower Commission, State unemployment compensation commissions, State departments of labor, and other sources. These estimates, presented in absolute numbers, will be more useful measures of wartime dislocations than the indexes heretofore published by the Bureau. More particularly the data hitherto available covered only manufacturing employment, and no break-down of these figures was available for the leading in dustries within the community. The statistical data given in the following pages are believed suf ficiently reliable to serve as useful background against which to judge changes required to reconvert from wartime to peacetime production. The figures are, however, preliminary. There are no data at this time sufficiently complete and comparable to permit refined comparisons between cities. The Bureau is now engaged in the preparation of more accurate estimates of employment, by States, and as a byproduct of such studies will be able to revise the estimates for many areas. In the meantime, the figures here presented show the general magnitude of the changes that the war has brought to individual communities. 1 2 Estimates of Wartime Changes in Employment in Specified Areas Area and type of employment April 1940 November 1943 May 1944 September 1944 Akron Area (Includes Summit County, Ohio) Civilian employment in nonagricultural establishments.
