CURRENT BUSINESS STATISTICS

JLHE STATISTICS here update series published in the 1969 edition of BUSINESS STATISTICS, biennial statistical supplement to the SURVEY
OF CURRENT BUSINESS. That volume (price $3.00) provides a description of each series, references to sources of earlier figures, and historical data
as follows: For all series, monthly or quarterly, 1965 through 1968 (1958-68 for major quarterly series), annually, 1939-68; for selected series,
monthly or quarterly, 1947-68 (where available). Series added or significantly revised after the 1969 BUSINESS STATISTICS went to press are indicated
by an asterisk (*) and a dagger (f), respectively; certain revisions for 1968 issued too late for inclusion in the 1969 volume appear in the monthly
SURVEY beginning with the September 1969 issue. Also, unless otherwise noted, revised monthly data for periods not shown herein corresponding
to revised annual data are available upon request.
*
The sources of the data are given in the 1969 edition of BUSINESS STATISTICS; they appear in the main descriptive note for each series, and
are also listed alphabetically on pages 189-90.
Statistics originating in Government agencies are not copyrighted and may be reprinted freely.
Data from private sources are provided through the courtesy of the compilers, and are subject to their copyrights.
