3 In comparing this percentage of increase with that shown for the decade 1910-20, allowance should be
made for the fact that the period between the censuses of 1910 and 1920 was less than a full decade, and
that between the 1920 and 1930 censuses was more than a full decade. An increase of 16.1 percent for 123
months (the time between Jan. 1,1920, and Apr. 1, 1930) is equivalent to 15.7 percent for exactly 10 years;
and the 1920 increase for 116J^ months (the time between Apr. 15, 1910, and Jan. 1, 1920) is equivalent to
15.4 percent for 120 months. Making this adjustment, the rate of increase for the decade ending in 1930
is only slightly higher than that for the preceding decade.
3 Areas and population density are based on new measurements and differ slightly from figures previously
published.

—The population of continental United States has been divided by the total land area in order to
obtain the density figures here presented. For each State or Territory the population as returned at a
given census has been divided by the land area as constituted at the time that census was taken. The
1930 data, however, are based on the revised land areas used for computing the 1940 density figures and,
therefore, differ from the 1930 density data previously published. The areas of Indian reservations,
outside of Indian Territory, are included in the areas of the several States and Territories, although the
population was not ascertained and cannot be considered in figuring density of population prior to 1890.1
ote.

N ote .—E stimates of population for each State are based on Federal Census figures for 1930 and 1940 and
on available local data indicative of population changes, such as school enrollment and school census
figures, using the method most appropriate to each State. Six States made local population censuses
for one or more years between the Federal censuses, and data for these censuses were used as additional
base points for intercensal interpolations. The difference between the sum of all the State estimates
for any given year and the estimate for continental United States was prorated among those States which
had no special census. For actual enumerations, 1790 to 1940, see table 6, p. 4.

o t e .— Estimates, except for continental United States, 1900 to 1940, Hawaii, 1930 to 1940, Alaska, 1940,
Puerto Rico, 1940 and 1941, and Philippine Islands, 1939 and 1940, are based on the assumption that the
increase each year between two successive censuses is equal to the average annual increase between the
2 enumerations. Estimates for the United States, 1900 to 1909, are the sums of State estimates based
on available local data indicative of population change. Those for 1910 to 1941 are based on birth and
death statistics, both corrected for under registration, and on statistics of immigration and emigration.
Estimates for Hawaii, 1930 to 1940, are based on available data regarding births, deaths, immigration, and
emigration, allowance being made each year for unregistered births and deaths. Estimates for Puerto
Rico, 1930 to 1939, are based partly on a census taken as of Dec. 1,1935.

N ote.—A ll classifications of 1940 population according to country of birth are based on political boundaries
of Jan. 1, 1937. Classification of population at earlier censuses is based for the most part on political

data are based on a tabulation of a 5 percent cross-section of the population, multiplied uni­
formly by 20. Analysis of statistics based on tabulations of the 5 percent cross-section of the population
indicates that in 95 percent of the cases the sample statistics differ from the complete census statistics by
less than 5 percent for all numbers of 10,000 or more, by less than 10 percent for numbers between 5,000 and
10,000, and by less than 20 percent for numbers between 2,000 and 5,000. Somewhat larger variations

the

1940,

and

of

Parentage,

1940 data are based on a tabulation of a 5 percent cross-section o f the population, multiplied uni­
formly b y 20. Analysis of statistics based on tabulations of the 5 percent cross-section of the population
indicates that in 95 percent of the cases the sample statistics differ from the complete census statistics by
less than 5 percent for all numbers of 10,000 or more, b y less than 10 percent for numbers between 5,000
and 10,000, and by less than 20 percent for numbers between 2,000 and 5,000. Somewhat larger variations
may be expected in numbers below 2,000. White population includes Mexicans. The 1930 classifica­
tion includes only persons of known marital status. Persons whose marital status could not be deter­
mined from the population schedule in 1940 were classified as single.1

for 1 9 4 0 are based on occupied dwelling units and are not strictly comparable with data
for private families, but it is believed that differences a r e so small as to be negligible. Figures for 1 9 0 0
and 1 9 3 0 represent private families only; those for 1 8 9 0 , 1 9 1 0 , and 1 9 2 0 , include a small number of quasi­
family groups.

1 Figures do not strictly represent the average size of private families because they were obtained by
dividing the number of occupied units (or families) into the total population, which includes an appre­
ciable number of persons who are not members of private families. Persons in private families represent
so large a fraction of the total, however, that the trend of the figures from one census to another, as indi­
cated by the population per unit or family, is practically the same as for the average size of family.
3 Estimated data for those of unknown tenure are included.

1 Persons who worked for pay or profit at any time during week of Mar. 24-30, 1940, in private or non­
emergency Federal, State, or local government work, or assisted without pay on a family farm or in a family
business, and those who had jobs, businesses, or professional enterprises from which they were temporarily
absent because of vacation, illness, industrial dispute, bad weather, or lay-off not exceeding 4 weeks with
definite instructions to return to work on a specific date.
2 Persons who, during week of Mar. 24-30, 1940, were at work on or assigned to, public emergency work
projects conducted by Work Projects Administration, National Youth Administration, Civilian Conser­
vation Corps, or State and local work relief agencies. Number of persons reported in census as on public
emergency work in the U. S. was 2,529,606, whereas number recorded on pay rolls of Federal emergency
work agencies at about time of census was 2,906,196, excluding N Y A Student Work Program, and 3,377,978
including that program. Available evidence indicates that a majority of emergency workers who were
improperly classified were returned as on private or nonemergency government work; persons on N Y A
Student Work Program were frequently returned as in school; and a number of emergency workers were
classified as “ seeking work,” rather than as emergency workers.
2 Persons without work of any sort in week of Mar. 24-30, 1940, who were actively seeking work during
that week. This category includes both experienced and new workers, the latter being persons who had not
previously worked full time for 1 month or more.
4 Persons reported as engaged in own home housework, in school, unable to work, all inmates of penal
and mental institutions, and homes for the aged, infirm, and needy, regardless of their activity during the
census week; others not at work and not having a job, not on public emergency work, and not seeking work;
and persons for whom employment status was not reported.

1 Figures for 1900 to 1930 represent gainful workers, that is, persons reported as having a gainful occupation
in which they earned money or a money equivalent, or in which they assisted in the production of market­
able goods, regardless of whether they were working or seeking work at the time of the census. Figures
are, therefore, not strictly comparable with those in the labor force for 1940.

3. VITAL STATISTICS
[Statistics in this section relate to continental United States except those in table 105]
G eneral N ote .— B irths and deaths are registered by the States, and transcripts of the original certifi­
cates are received and tabulated by the Bureau of the Census. Because of the gradual expansion of the
“ registration” systems up to 1933 (see tables 87, 88, and 95), the numbers of births and deaths recorded for
earlier years for the systems as a whole are not strictly comparable, but, in most cases, the expansion of the
systems had only a negligible effect on the comparability of the rates. Beginning with 1933, all States have
been included in both the birth- and death-registration systems.
All birth and death statistics in this section, except as noted in tables 89 and 93, have been compiled ac­
cording to the places in which the births or the deaths occurred. The alternative is to allocate each birth
and each death to the State, city, and county of residence or usual place of abode. (For comparison of births
and deaths by place of occurrence and by place of residence, for selected cities, see table 89. For State totals
the difference in most cases would be negligible.) Inasmuch as the population census is compiled according
to the usual place of abode, the tabulation of vital statistics according to place of occurrence has seriously
restricted, for certain purposes, the use of these data. The factors to be considered depend upon the spe­
cific purpose for which the data are to be used. If crude death rates— and especially the rates for individual
causes of death— are used as indexes of the health conditions of a community, comparisons of rates for
different States or cities are not strictly valid unless the age, sex, and racial composition of the population
of each area is considered. It is obvious that, if the population in 1 State is generally older than that in
another, the crude death rate will be higher, even though there are no essential differences between the
rates for identical age groups. Moreover, in a few States the rates for certain causes, notably tuberculosis,
are abnormally high because the deaths represented by these rates include those of considerable numbers of
persons who have gone to the States in question in the hope of recovering their health. Similar considera­
tions apply also to crude birth rates. For example, comparison of the birth rate of 1 area having a certain
proportion of women of childbearing age with the rate of another community of a different population
composition is erroneous if the rates are used as a measure of intrinsic biological fertility.
Rates, except as noted, are based on revised midyear estimates of population.
Data for stillbirths (see table 94) are excluded from the figures for both births and deaths. In all tables
giving statistics by race, data for Mexicans have been included with those for the white population.

4. IMMIGRATION, EMIGRATION, AND NATURALIZATION
G en e r al N ote .— In compiling immigration and emigration statistics, Alaska, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico,
beginning with 1904,1901, and 1902, respectively, have been treated as integral parts of the United States.
In prior years the transfer of population between these areas and the United States was treated as immi­
gration and emigration. The movement of population between the Philippine Islands and the United
States was treated as immigration and emigration prior to July 1, 1898, and has been so treated since
M ay 1,1934, but was not accounted for in the statistics for the period between those dates.

N ote .— F or 1851 to 1867 figures represent alien passengers arriving; for 1868 to 1903, immigrants arriving;
for 1904 to 1906, aliens admitted; thereafter, immigrant aliens admitted. Data prior to 1906 cover coun­
tries whence aliens came; thereafter, countries of last permanent residence. Owing to changes in the
lists of countries separately reported and to changes in boundaries, data for certain countries are not
comparable throughout. Countries added to the list since the beginning of the World War were there­
tofore included with the countries to which they belonged. Data are to ta ls (not annual averages) for
periods ended June 30 since 1870, Dec. 31 theretofore, except as noted.

occurred in Regular Army. Figures for Reserve officers include data for Regular Army enlisted men,
and also, for years prior to 1 9 2 4 , for National Guard officers holding commissions in the Reserve. There is,
therefore, some duplication in the grand totals, but the amount of this duplication is relatively small.

CIVIL SERVICE RETIREMENT
No. 1 8 3 . —

C i v i l S e r v i c e a n d C a n a l Z o n e R e t i r e m e n t : 1921 t o 1941
N ote .—R etirement for civil service employees was established by act of May 22, 1920. Under this act
and its amendments, employees of the classified service and certain other groups, including unclassified
laborers subject to labor regulations, are eligible for retirement on annuity at the ages of 62, 65, and 70,
according to the class of service, if they have rendered at least 15 years of service. The amendment of
M ay 29, 1930 (effective Julyl, 1930), permits the optional retirement of employees 2 years before reaching
the retirement age when they have rendered at least 30 years of service and also permits retirement on
account of permanent and total disability after 5 years of service. From the basic compensation of each
employee within the scope of the acts there is deducted 3^ percent (2H prior to July 1, 1926) thereof for
deposit to the credit of the retirement fund. All amounts deducted prior to July 1,1930, and thereafter
amounts deducted less $1 per month are credited to the employee’s individual account. Under the
amendment of May 29, 1930, annuities are composed of (1) a sum equal to $30 for each year of service not
exceeding 30, provided it does not exceed three-fourths of average salary for any five consecutive years
(amendment of Aug. 4, 1939, effective Jan. 1, 1940, which applies only to high-salaried employees with
considerable service, provides that amount shall not be less than employee’s purchasable annuity); and
(2) the amount of annuity purchasable with the sum credited to the individual’s account, together with
interest at 4 percent per annum, with the provision that the annuity shall in no case be less than an
amount equal to the average salary, not to exceed $1,600 per annum, received during any five consecutive
years, multiplied by the number of years of service, not exceeding 30, and divided by 40. By act of Mar.
2,1931 (effective July 1,1931), special provision was made for employees of the Panama Canal and Pan­
ama Canal Railroad, who theretofore had been eligible for retirement under the civil service retirement
and disability act.

N ote .—The population for apportionment purposes excluded Indians not taxed and, until 1870, two-fifths

Consti­
tution

of the number of slaves. In 1940, it was held that all Indians are subject to Federal taxation. The appor­
tionment ratios were arbitrarily chosen until 1850. From 1850 to 1900, these ratios were the apportionment
population of the U. S. divided by the number of Representatives. From 1910 on, the apportionments
were computed from priority lists rather than from ratios. There was no apportionment in 1920. For a
discussion of methods of apportionment, see Senate Document No. 304, 76th Congress, 3d session, “ A
Survey of Methods of Apportionment in Congress,” by Edward V. Huntington.

9. NATIONAL GOVERNMENT FINANCES
General note as to bases used in compiling statistics of receipts and expenditures of the United States Government.—Four different bases are used in compiling both the receipts and expenditures of the Government.
These bases, in the case of receipts, are the daily Treasury statements (unrevised and revised), warrants
issued, and collections reported. The expenditures of the Government are published on the first 3 of
these bases and also on the basis of checks issued. Figures in the daily Treasury statements (unrevised)
which are on a current cash basis are compiled from the latest daily reports from the Treasury offices or
public depositories. Owing to the distance of some of these offices and depositories from the Treasury,
reports from them are somewhat delayed in reaching the Treasury, and consequently it is necessary to issue
the unrevised Treasury statements before they are received. The figures for actual transactions during
a month or year which are calculated to take into account these delayed reports are said to be on a basis
of daily Treasury statements (revised). The unrevised figures are the basis of the Budget estimates
submitted to Congress by the President.
It is provided by law that warrants shall be issued by the Secretary of the Treasury in acknowledg­
ment of money received, and that warrants must be drawn by the Secretary of the Treasury for all dis­
bursements of money. Some of these warrants for expenditures do not represent actual payments but
are merely advances of credit to disbursing officers, who then issue checks in payment of Government
obligations. Expenditures on the basis of warrants issued include unexpended balances to the credit of
disbursing officers at the end of the year but do not include expenditures made during the year from unex­
pended balances of the preceding year.
Expenditures on the basis of checks issued (see table 194, 1941 Statistical Abstract) represent most ac­
curately the actual expenditures during any given year. They differ from expenditures shown by
daily Treasury statements (revised), because they include checks outstanding at the end of the year and
exclude unpaid checks at the beginning of the year.
Government transactions are classified according to the accounts through which they are effected. The
three classes of accounts are: General fund accounts, which include the general revenues and from which
the operating expenses of the Government, including capital outlays and fixed charges, are paid under
appropriations by Congress; special fund accounts, or funds received under special authorizations of law
which are earmarked for some specific purpose; and trust fund accounts, representing money received and
held in trust for the benefit of individuals or classes of individuals. The latter are not strictly Govern­
ment moneys and are shown separately in all tables except N o. 196. (See headnote of that table.)
All figures for receipts and expenditures include postal surpluses or deficiencies only; postal revenues
other than surplus receipts and postal expenditures payable from postal revenues are shown in table 196.

The figures represent collections by internal revenue officers
throughout the country, including deposits by postmasters of amounts received from sale of internal rev­
enue stamps and deposits of internal revenue collected through customs offices, and, therefore, differ
from those in tables 195 to 197 which represent the deposits of these collections in the Treasury or deposi­
tories during the fiscal year concerned, there being thu an overlapping of time. Certain items, included
in the totals in the last column, are shown in detail in the second part of the table.

1 For 1934 includes returns of husbands whose wives though living with them file separate returns.
* Included in “ Joint returns of husbands and wives."
* An unequal number of separate returns of husbands and wives results from the use of the sample
method for returns with net income under $5,000, as the net income of one spouse may be $5,000 or over
and that of the other spouse under $5,000.
4
For 1934 returns of estates were distributed according to sex and family relationship of testator or
grantor, and returns of property held in trust, according to sex and family relationship of beneficiary or
of testator or grantor if status of beneficiary could not be determined.

T ax R eturns, C orporation— Summary:

1 911

to

1940

N ote .—A ll money figures in thousands of dollars. Statistics are based on taxpayers’ returns as filed, un­
audited except to insure proper execution of the returns. They include data for Alaska and Hawaii.
All corporations are required to file returns except those specifically exempt, such as mutual, fraternal,
civic, charitable, etc., not operating for profit. Under the Revenue Act of 1934, the privilege of filing
consolidated returns, which had formerly been permitted for groups of affiliated corporations, was limited
to steam and electric railroad corporations. The Revenue Act of 1936 extended this privilege to street,
suburban, and interurban electric railway corporations. These changes resulted in marked differences
between the industrial and the net-income or deficit classifications of returns for 1934 and subsequent
years, and those for 1933 and prior years, and also in the distribution of returns by size-of-assets classes.
Tables showing the effect, on the tabulated data, of the discontinuance of the privilege of filing consoli­
dated returns except by railroad corporations, will be found in Statistics of Income for 1934, Part 2. In
general, corporations are classified industrially on the one business activity which accounts for the
greatest percentage of “ Total receipts.’ ’ Therefore, the industrial groups contain corporations not
engaged exclusively in the industries in which they are classified. As a result of the application of the
Standard Industrial Classification, the number of major and minor industrial groups for 1938 and sub­
sequent years has been increased over that for 1937, and certain changes have been made in the contents
of the groups.

i Returns of inactive corporations prior to 1927 are included in those reporting no net income.
> For 1935 and prior years, net income or deficit is the amount reported for income tax computation.
For 1936 and later years, net income or deficit is the amount reported for (declared value) excess-profits
tax computation and includes dividends received on stock of domestic corporations subject to taxation
under title 1 of the effective revenue acts, and interest received on certain Government obligations subject
to exc'ess-profits tax; and excludes contributions or gifts (limited to 5 percent of net income before deduction
of contributions or gifts). For 1940, this amount is adjusted by excluding net operating loss deduction.
• There was no war-profits or excess-profits tax in effect 1911 through 1916, or 1923 through 1932. The
(declared value) excess-profits tax became effective June 30,1933, under provision of the National Industrial
Recovery Act.
• Returns showing net income in excess of $5,000 exemption.
• Returns showing net income not in excess of $5,000 exemption, or deficit.
• Not available.
7 Receipts for fiscal year ending June 30 of the following year, as reported by Commissioner of Internal
Revenue. Figures shown for 1911 and 1912 and $10,671,000 of the amount shown for 1913 are excise tax
receipts.
8 Figures for 1915 contain approximately 32,000 returns which properly belong in 1914.
• Includes surtax on undistributed profits according to provision of Revenue Act of 1936.
1 Includes defense tax.

* For 1929 to 1931 gross income corresponds to total income as reported on face of return, plus “ cost of
goods sold,” and for 1932 to 1939 gross income corresponds to total income as reported on face of return,
plus “ cost of goods sold” and “ cost of operations.” For 1934 and 1935 interest on Liberty bonds, etc.,
has been deducted from gross income as this item was not included in gross income for prior years. Be­
ginning 1936, gross income includes interest received on certain Government obligations which is subject
to the excess-profits tax.

1 For definition of net income and deficit, see note 2, table 209.
2 For historical comparison the 1938 and 1939 data are adjusted by transferring certain minor groups from
the classification in which they are tabulated in tables 213 and 215 to the classification in which they were
tabulated for 1937 in this table.
3 For historical comparison there are inserted additional data for 1937 adjusted by transferring certain
minor groups from the classification in which they were tabulated for 1937 in this table to the classification
in which they would have been tabulated had the classification for 1938 been used.
f “ Metal and its products” includes “ Motor vehicles, complete or parts,” for years prior to 1936.

Includes obligations of States and Territories and minor political subdivisions, securities issued under
the Federal Farm Loan Act, and obligations of the United States and its possessions, and beginning 1936,
certain obligations subject to excess-profits tax.
8 For balance sheets in which common and preferred stock are not reported separately, the combined
amount is tabulated as “ Common stock.” For balance sheets with no par stock and not reporting capital
stock value, the net worth is tabulated under “ Surplus and undivided profits.”
8 Beginning 1937, excludes “ Surplus reserves.”
7 Includes “ Surplus reserves,” “ Paid-in or capital surplus,” and “ Earned surplus and undivided profits.”
If one or more of these amounts are negative, they are tabulated as “ Deficit” and the remaining positive
items are tabulated as “ Surplus and undivided profits.” Prior to 1937 the net amount of “ Surplus and
undivided profits” or “ Deficit” was tabulated from each return.
8 Consists of negative amounts for “ Paid-in or capital surplus” and “ Earned surplus and undivided
profits.”

units.
* Includes grants, shared revenues, loans, and payment of debt services; excludes W . P. A. and similar

3 To observe a common basis for reporting all governmental levels, the U. S. Treasury statistics for expendi­
tures were adjusted by the following three additions: (1) $287,000,000 for the Agriculture and Treasury
Departments resulting from the showing of total costs instead of net expenditures, (2) $61,000,000 for railroad
unemployment insurance, and (3) $711,000,000 for old-age and survivors insurance.
* Total amounts are decreased by $203,000,000, the amount of unspecified Federal and State aid to local
governments.
8 Excludes payments to other public units; includes payments from funds received from other public
units.
8 State $3,000,000 and local $9,000,000.
7 State $2,000,000 and local $22,000,000.

1 The grand total revenue and the total State and local revenue for each State are in each case less than the
sum of State and local revenues by the amount of State aid to local units and local aid to States. These
internal aids are excluded to avoid the inflation of total revenues.
* The grand total of fiscal aid consists of Federal aid to State and local governments and is not the sum of
Federal, State, and local aids. Similarly, the aggregate aid to State and local governments in each State
consists of Federal aid to State and local governments, and is exclusive of the internal aids among govern­
ments within a State.
* Less than $50,000.

N ote .— The data represent the total levies of general property taxes of States, counties, cities, villages,
towns, boroughs, townships, school districts, etc., and for all purposes. They do not cover “ special
assessments” on property benefited by specific improvements nor special property taxes applying only
to limited classes, nor taxes based on other standards than property, such as income, volume of business,
inheritance, etc., which have been steadily growing in relative importance. The change in buying
power of money affects materially the comparability of the figures. For data for 1860, 1870, and 1890,
by States, see table 437, Statistical Abstract of 1922.

i Under orders of the Secretary of the Treasury of Dec. 28, 1933, and Jan. 11 and 15, 1934, all gold coin
domestically owned (with minor exceptions) was required to be delivered to the Treasurer of the United
States, and under the Gold Reserve Act of 1934 (Jan. 30) withdrawn from circulation and formed into bars.
Gold coin ($287,000,000) shown on Treasury records as then outstanding was dropped from statements.

N ote .— Amounts in thousands of dollars.

Figures prior to 1890 were revised in 1925 from the best available
data, but the older records, especially from 1860 through the early 70’s, are not complete and figures for
gold and silver for those years are only estimates. In 1927, data were re vised to include minor coins beginning
1900 (no satisfactory data available for earlier years) and gold coin and bullion held abroad for Federal
Reserve banks and to exclude gold earmarked for foreign account.

1 The totals involve a duplication to the extent that United States notes, Federal Reserve notes. Federal
Reserve bank notes, and national bank notes, all included in full, are in part secured by gold, also included
in full. Gold certificates, silver certificates, and Treasury notes of 1890 have been excluded, however,
since they are complete duplications of the equal amounts of gold or silver held as security therefor and in­
cluded in the totals.
3 B y a proclamation of the President dated Jan. 31,1934, the weight of the gold dollar was reduced from
25.8 to 1 5 5 i grains of gold, 0.9 fine. The value of gold is therefore based on $35 per fine ounce beginning
A
June 1934; theretofore, it is based on $20.67 per fine ounce.

1 Figures for loans and investments beginning Dec. 31, 1938, are not entirely comparable with prior call
dates because investments and other assets (principally loans) indirectly representing bank premises and
other real estate are no longer included in loans and investments but are now reported separately. Such
investments and other assets amounted to $94,569,000 and $49,939,000, respectively, on Dec. 31, 1938.
8 Not reported separately where no figures are shown.
» Figures prior to Dec. 31,1938, represent all loans on securities,except loans to banks and to brokersand dealers.
* This is a residual item and, because of revised loan classification beginning Dec. 31, 1938, the residual
amounts are not comparable.
8 Corporate stocks of foreign corporations were reported in combination with bonds, notes, and debentures
prior to Dec 31, 1938.

1 Date of reports of member banks; figures for nonmember banks as of nearest available date.
2 Exclusive of interbank deposits, with following exceptions: For dates prior to Dec. 30, 1933, memberbank figures include interbank deposits not subject to immediate withdrawal, which aggregated $103,000,000
on that date; nonmember-bank figures prior to June 1940 include interbank deposits to the extent (estimated
at $150,000,000 for June 30,1937, but since reduced to probably a small amount) that they were not reported
separately in a few State bank abstracts.
s Beginning June 30,1933, all figures, except for mutual savings banks, relate to licensed banks only, with
some exceptions as to nonmember banks.

banks in Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, Philippine Islands, and beginning with 1935,
those in Virgin Islands and with 1938, those in Canal Zone, Guam, and American Samoa. Data are as of
June 30 or about June 30 except data for the earlier years for banks other than national, for which reports
were of various dates. Figures for banks other than national for the earlier years, especially through 1885,
are incomplete. Figures for mutual savings banks include some stock savings banks for years prior to
1910 and also a few in several more recent years; since 1926 only one is included. Private banks are not
included prior to 1890; statistics for private banks, except for 1934 and 1935, cover only banks under State
supervision and those voluntarily reporting; for 1934 and 1935, they include also private banks which
submitted reports to the Comptroller of the Currency under provisions of the Banking Act of 1933.

The number of borrowers receiving original loans from the H O L C was 1,017,822. The larger number of
accounts noted here results chiefly from the division of properties on which loans were made. Figures on
original applications and loans granted can be found in the Statistical Abstract for 1940 and previous years.

The program of providing insurance for long-term mortgages
on individual homes and on large-scale rental projects and for short-term character loans for property
improvement is carried on by F H A under provisions of National Housing Act and its amendments.
F H A lends no money but provides insurance for loans made by banks and other private lending insti­
tutions. Title V I, sec. 603, amendment of Mar. 28, 1941, authorized F H A to insure mortgages on small
homes constructed to meet urgent needs of workers in defense areas. A separate Defense Housing
Insurance Fund was established under Title V I in order that holders of these mortgages might enjoy
benefits of F H A mortgage insurance without affecting interest of mortgagors in Mutual Mortgage
Insurance Fund provided under Title II.

N ote .— In millions of dollars. Cities are listed in order of importance according to clearings in 1941. No figures are given for Los Angeles, which ranked eighth in 1929 but has not
reported clearings for any subsequent year. Comparability of figures for different years is affected by the tendency toward consolidation of banks, eliminating former clearings
between 2 or more banks. Debits to individual account (tables 336 and 337) are a better measure of volume of payment. For figures for earlier years for all cities reporting to
New York Clearing House Association, 1882 to 1920, and for figures for 146 identical cities, 1920 to 1936, see table 293, Statistical Abstract, 1937.

N ote.— Figures cover business transacted in continental United States, including United States business

of Canadian companies. They include data for some small companies which confine their business to
the State in which they domicile, and usually to several small cities, which are not included in tables
344 to 347. Further differences between totals in this table and in the preceding tables are due to dupli­
cations from reinsurance.

in addition to accident and health insurance. Income and disbursement items include business of accident
and health branches only of these life insurance companies, where companies were able to segregate data,
while capital, assets, and net surplus include total amounts of these items for such companies, excluding,
however, data for a few very large companies for which accident and health business is only a small propor­
tion of the total business. Capital, assets, and net surplus are therefore overstated and in part duplicated
in figures for life insurance companies in other tables. Figures for 1932 to 1940, except 1932 italic figures,
relate to casualty, surety, and miscellaneous insurance companies only.
* Number of companies reporting.
6 See note 4.
7 Includes stock casualty, surety, and miscellaneous insurance companies, shown separately above,
mutual companies, reciprocals, and Lloyd’s; number of companies and income and disbursement items
also include accident and health departments of life insurance companies.

N ote .— Carriers include all types of insurance coverage except title insurance and the guarantee of mort­
gages. Each carrier is considered as having only one home office. Insurance agencies and brokerage
offices include insurance agencies, subagencies, and brokerage offices identifiable as business establish­
ments; managing agencies for one or more carriers; attorneys-in-fact for Lloyds Associations and for recip­
rocal exchanges; and underwriter agencies. Classifications by kind of insurance in the case of multiple
line companies submitting a consolidated report are based on the kind of insurance from which the major
portion of the business is derived.

o t e .— Data

for the group of 629 companies, compiled q uarterly, are available only beginning 1939; earlier
data shown for 488 of these companies and for the group of 152 companies are available only on an annual
basis. Annual data include report s for fiscal years ended between July 1 of specified year through June 30
of the following year. To a consi derable extent, total profits of the 629 corporations represent very large
concerns, as no data are included for companies with assets under $250,000, and there is a very limited
representation of companies with ass ets between $250,000 and $5,000,000. No data are included for some
important nondurable goods industr ies, such as meat packing, sugar refining, and rubber. Net profits
are before dividends and after all cha rges, including depreciation, interest, special reserves charged as
expenses, and all taxes. Aggregate dol lar dividends are reported quarterly by only a few companies and
for most of the companies for which these data are shown, dividends were computed for each class of stock
on the basis of dividends per share and number of shares outstanding. (These data have been substituted
for data on quarterly profits of 167 industrial companies compiled by the Federal Reserve Bank of New
York, which have been formerly included in the Abstra ct. For net profits of all corporations as compiled
from income-tax returns, see tables 214 and 215, pages 223 and 224.)

and all obligations, whether in secured form or not, known to be held by banks, officers, affiliated com­

o t e . — National income is the measure of the value of net output of commodities and services produced
by private and public enterprises of the economy. It includes economic activities carried on by all
producing entities—corporations, partnerships, individual enterprises, and governmental agencies.
Value of materials and supplies and of plant and equipment consumed in process of production is de­
ducted from gross value of goods and services produced in order to obtain value of net production. The
net product is represented by returns in the form of salaries and wages, net income of business enter­
prises, interest, and rents and royalties. Corporate savings (positive and negative) represent net profits
after deduction of cash dividends and taxes.

o t e .— Data

on dividends, interest, and corporate savings by industrial divisions for 1934 (omitted here)
and for subsequent years are based on a different industrial classification than are the estimates of these
items for earlier years because of a change in the Revenue Act of 1934. Special tabulations of the Bureau
of Internal Revenue permitted the making of estimates for 1934 on the earlier basis. For specific items in
certain industries the variations are substantial, but for total income the changes were small. The 2
estimates were averaged in compiling this table.

St a t e s:

o t e .—

Income payments to individuals comprise (1) salaries and wages net of pay-roll deductions for
social insurance, (2) other labor income such as pensions, compensation for injuries, direct and work relief
and social insurance benefits, (3) net earnings, before owner’s withdrawals, of unincorporated businesses
(including farmers), and (4) dividends, interest, and net rents and royalties received by individuals.
The total of income payments differs from national income in tables 375 to 377, principally by the exclu­
sion of retained earnings of corporations from the former aggregate and their inclusion in the latter. Other
differences relate to the handling of social insurance pay-roll deductions and benefits and such transfer
items as direct relief and adjusted-service certificates (the Soldiers’ Bonus).

for

o t e . — Wage or salary income includes all money received in 1939 in compensation for work or services
performed as employees, including commissions, tips, piece-rate payments, bonuses, etc., as well as rece ipts commonly referred to as wages or salaries. The value of income received in kind, such as living quar­
ters, meals, clothing, etc., is not included. Persons were classified as with or without other income on
the basis of their answers to an inquiry as to whether $60 or more of income was received from sources
other than money wages or salaries in 1939. Statistics in this table and tables 381 to 383 are based on a
tabulation of a 5 percent cross section of the population enumerated in the 1940 Census. Analysis of the
statistics based on the sample tabulation indicates that in 95 percent of the cases the sample statistics
differ from the complete census statistics by less than 5 per cent for all numbers of 10,000 or more, by less
than 10 percent for numbers between 5,000 and 10,000, and by less than 20 percent for numbers between
2,000 and 5,000. Somewhat larger variations may be expected in numbers below 2,000.

1 The estimates cover all consumers with the exception of 2,000,000 persons living in institutions or quasiinstitutional groups. A family is defined as 2 or more persons sharing a commofi income and living under
a common roof. Single individuals include persons lodging in rooming houses and hotels, living as lodgers
or servants in private homes, or maintaining independent living quarters as 1-person families. Income
includes the total net money income received during the year by all members of the economic family plus
the value of certain items of nonmoney income, such as the occupancy of an owned home and food produced
by rural families for their own use. The estimates apply to the 12-month period from July 1935 through
June 1936.

8 Excludes residents in institutional groups.
8 Includes the total net money income received during the year by all members of the economic family
and by single individuals, plus the imputed value of the following nonmoney items: Occupancy of owned
homes, rented farm homes, and rent-free homes; food produced by rural families for their own use; fuel
and ice obtained free by farm families.
8 Includes, in addition to goods and services purchased during the year, the imputed value of the non­
money items mentioned in note 2. All purchases of durable consumer goods, except payments on homes
and improvements to homes, are considered current expenditures for the year. Automobile expenditures
cover purchase and operating costs for family and personal use only, excluding costs chargeable to business
use.
* Gifts include gifts made to persons outside the economic family, to churches and other religious organiza­
tions, and to welfare agencies. Taxes cover only personal income taxes, poll taxes, and certain minor per­
sonal property taxes. Taxes on automobiles and on owned homes, and sales and excise taxes are included
in consumption expenditures. Business taxes and taxes on income-producing property were deducted
in calculating net income.
* These estimates represent net changes in family and personal assets or liabilities, exclusive of gains or
losses from revaluation of assets. A t the lower income levels they appear as average net deficits for the
year, the surpluses of some families in the income group being more than offset by the deficits of other
families.

1 Excludes residents in institutional groups.
1 Includes the total net money income received during the year by all members of the economic family and
by single individuals, plus the imputed value of the following nonmoney items: Occupancy of owned homes,
rented farm homes, and rent-free homes; food produced by rural families for their own use; fuel and ice ob­
tained free by farm families.
* Includes, in addition to goods and services purchased during the year, the imputed value of the non­
money items mentioned in note 2. All purchases of durable consumer goods, except payments on homes
and improvements to homes, are considered current expenditures for the year. Automobile expenditures
cover purchase and operating costs for family and personal use only, excluding costs chargeable to business
use.
4 Figures cover rural families only.
5 Gifts include gifts made to persons outside the economic family, to churches and other religious organiza­
tions, and to welfare agencies. Taxes cover only personal income taxes, poll taxes, and certain minor per­
sonal property taxes. Taxes on automobiles and on owned homes, and sales and excise taxes are included in
consumption expenditures. Business taxes and taxes on income-producing property were deducted in
calculating net income.
« These estimates represent net changes in family and personal assets or liabilities, exclusive of gains or
losses from revaluation of assets. A t the lower income levels they appear as average net deficits for the year,
the surpluses of some families in the income group being more than offset by the deficits of other families.

N ote .—N et public and private debt is a comprehensive estimate of the outstanding indebtedness of final borrowers in the United States rather than a measure of total debt.

To
obtain the net debt figures estimates of gross or total debt are corrected for debts issued by but held within units having economic coalescense. Four such units are distmguished
(a) the Federal Government and its corporations and agencies, (b) combined State and local governments, (c) individual corporate systems, and (d) individual business estab­
lishments or persons. This selection of units means that the gross debt estimates are adjusted for (1) debts outstanding against a unit but held within that same unit m sinking,
trust, or investment funds, (2) debts of intermediary financial institutions such as banks, insurance companies, and Federal agencies, and (3) for intercorporate debts internal
to corporate systems under a single management. Under correction (2) bank deposits and liabilities of life insurance companies to policyholders were excluded and the inter­
governmental debts of the United States Government and its corporations and agencies were eliminated by consolidating the Federal accounts. Loans receivable by Federal
agencies were also deducted from the gross Federal debt since this debt is intermediary and duplicates private debts arising from these same advances by Federal agencies. The
net debt figures give a more significant picture of trends in the debt structure than the crude gross debt estimates. The figures represent, m the mam, balances of loans out­
standing at the end of calendar years, corrections having been made wherever figures are reported by fiscal years not corresponding to calendar years.

N ote .— Estimates of national wealth for the earlier censuses were not made by precisely the .same methods
used more recently and are not closely comparable. Changes in buying power of money, as indicated
by levels of prices and wages, materially affect the comparisons. For distribution of principal classes of
property by States for 1912 and 1922, see Statistical Abstract, 1932, table 275. There have been no official
estimates of wealth since 1922

1 Total differs from estimate as published in 1912 because of revision of estimate for taxed real property
in Oklahoma. Includes $402,000,000 value of ships belonging to the United States N avy and $290,000,000
value of privately owned water-supply systems not distributed by States. Items for geographic divisions
and States differ from estimate as published in 1912 because of redistribution of railroad values in accordance
with the method employed in 1922.
3 Total includes $1,446,000,000 value of ships belonging to the United States N avy, $361,000,000 privately
owned water-supply systems, and $4,278,000,000 gold and silver coin and bullion not distributed by States.

13. PRICES
G eneral N ote .—The wholesale-price index of the Department of Labor is based on primary market
quotations of 784 commodities beginning 1926, 813 beginning January 1938, 863 beginning March 1940,
887 beginning October 1940, and 889 beginning January 1941; a smaller number of commodities was covered
in earlier years. The price of each article is weighted by the approximate quantity marketed during a
period approximating that covered by the index. Beginning with 1921, in computing indexes for com­
modity groups, articles falling under more than one of the classifications were included under each classi­
fication. For example, articles produced on the farm which reach the consumer practically unchanged
in form, such as potatoes, milk, and eggs, were included among both farm products and foods. However,
in computing the index for all commodities such articles were counted only once.
The retail-food-cost indexes presented in this section for periods beginning January 1935 are revised
indexes based on the distribution of expenditures as shown by the 1934-36 study made by the Bureau of
Labor Statistics of expenditures of wage earners’ and lower salaried workers’ families. Differences in
changes in retail-food costs as shown by the revised, as compared with the unrevised, data are due largely
to the relatively greater importance of citrus fruits and green vegetables and the lesser importance of cereals,
potatoes, and apples in the revised index. The revised indexes are computed from prices of 54 foods. Aggre­
gate costs of 54 foods in each of 51 cities, weighted to represent total purchases, have been combined for the
United States with the use of population weights. In accordance with a recommendation of the Central
Statistical Board, Bureau of the Budget, an average of the years 1935-39 is being used as a base in present­
ing these revised indexes of food costs. Indexes for all periods prior to January 1935 are converted from
indexes computed for corresponding periods on the 1923-25 base.
The farm-price index is based on prices paid to producers for 34 major crops and 13 commercial truck
crops. Average quotations for the period August 1909-July 1914 are used as a base, and each price series
is weighted by the average annual marketings of farmers in the years 1924 to 1929.

Indexes of the National Bureau of Economic
Research for 1916 to 1928 are unweighted geometric means for approximately 490 commodities (converted
from a 1913 base to a 1929 base by the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce); for subsequent years
they are weighted arithmetic means for 680 price series, the weights being based upon the average value
of production in 1927 and 1931. For method of computing the Department of Labor index, see general
note, p. 371. For Department of Labor publications in which data appear, see source note, table 396.

* Effective January 1941. In earlier years a smaller number of commodities was included.
* Number of quotations used beginning 1929; see headnote regarding earlier years. The sum of the number
of quotations for producers' and consumers’ goods and for durable and nondurable goods is greater than the
number of all commodities owing to duplication of certain price series in the classifications. For example,
identical price quotations on flour are used in both producers’ goods and consumers’ goods.
* Average, 1929 and 1930.

N ote .— 1985-89=100. Figures for food represent 51 cities since June 1920 and a smaller number in earlier
years; other figures, 19 cities from 1913 to 1917, 32 cities from 1918 to 1934, 33 cities from 1935 through Sep­
tember 15, 1940, and 34 cities thereafter. Totals from 1913 to 1924 are weighted by relative importance
of items as ascertained by country-wide study of family expenditures in 1917-19. Totals from 1930 to
date are weighted by relative importance of items as ascertained by a study of family expenditures in
1934-36. Totals for the intervening years, 1925 through 1929, are weighted by an average of the 1917-19
and the 1934-36 expenditure data. Except for 1913, the annual average indexes for items other than
food are estimates based on indexes compiled as of particular dates at irregular intervals shown in previous
issues of this publication. They represent weighted averages of indexes for each pricing period affecting
the year. For example, where goods were priced in June and December, the indexes for December of
the previous year were considered in arriving at the average of the year. The annual average food index
is based on monthly indexes.

o t e .— The averages in this table are based on monthly data supplied by representative establishments
in the respective industries. As the number of such establishments varies slightly from month to month,
the averages for different years are not in all cases strictly comparable; but the reporting “ samples” are,
in general, large enough to be representative of the industries. The average weekly earnings do not repre­
sent full-time earnings, inasmuch as the data from which they are computed cover both full-time and parttime workers. The average weekly hours and average hourly earnings are derived from somewhat smaller
samples than the average weekly earnings, and therefore the product obtained by multiplying the hours
by the hourly earnings is not identical with the average weekly earnings.

1923-25 average=100.0. The index numbers of average weekly earnings in this table are derived
from the employment and pay-roll indexes shown in table 411. The index numbers of cost of living are
those shown in table 399, p. 377, converted to the 1923-25 base. The significance of changes in average
earnings is affected by such considerations as labor productivity, labor cost per unit of output, labor
turnover, and wholesale prices. Such qualifying data are embodied in detailed reports of the Bureau
of Labor Statistics.

Figures for 1937 include corporation officers, executives, and other strictly supervisory personnel. Hours
and earnings for retail trade—total and general merchandising—from January 1939 weighted by lines of
trade and therefore not comparable with figures for prior years.
* Not available.
* Cash payments only; the additional value of board, room, and tips cannot be computed.
* Excludes projects financed by P. W . A ., or R . F. C. funds, or regular governmental appropriations.

o t e .— Monthly average, 1928-26=100.
Indexes are based on monthly reports from representative estab­
lishments in 90 manufacturing industries. These industries and industry groups are shown in tables
413-415. The base used in computing these indexes is the 3-year average, 1923-25, taken as 100. Indexes
are not adjusted for seasonal variation. Indexes in this table and tables 412 and 413 have been adjusted
to preliminary 1939 Census of Manufactures figures. Indexes in tables 414 and 415 have been adjusted
to 1937 census figures, except as noted. It was not found practicable to follow some of the modifications
made by the 1937 census in industry classifications because comparable data were not available from
the census for the base-period years 1923 and 1925. In such cases the indexes of employment and pay
rolls between 1935 and 1937, as in earlier revisions, were adjusted to movements of selected census data
on the assumption that such movements would agree closely with those of the former census series. For
indexes of employment adjusted for seasonal variations, see table 412.

1 Compiled by Massachusetts Department of Labor and Industries, based upon monthly returns from
approximately 2,050 manufacturing establishments employing about 75 percent of the factory wage earners
in the State. Office workers assigned to productive departments are included, but not executives, salaried
officers, etc. The employment indexes are adjusted to the annual State census of manufactures through
1938.
* Compiled by the New York State Department of Labor, based upon monthly reports from a representa­
tive list of manufacturing firms who employ about half of all the factory workers in the State. Reports
cover employees in the shop, including foremen. Office workers, executives, and salesmen are omitted,
and administrative and sales offices located away from the plants are not covered.
3 Compiled by the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia. For New Jersey, indexes are based upon
monthly reports to the bank for 1925 and 1926 and since then, to the New Jersey Bureau of Statistics and
Records of the Department of Labor. Current reports are from about 830 manufacturing plants which
account for approximately 60 percent of all wage earners engaged in manufacturing industries of the State
and 68 percent of the total wage payments. For Pennsylvania, indexes are based upon reports collected
by the bank in cooperation with the U. S. Bureau of Labor Statistics and the Pennsylvania Department
of Labor and Industry. Current reports are from over 2,800 manufacturing plants and represent about
71 percent of the wage earners and 79 percent of the wage payments in the manufacturing industries of the
State. Indexes are weighted according to the relative importance of each industry in the State totals. For
Delaware indexes are based upon reports collected by the bank in cooperation with the U. S. Bureau of
Labor Statistics. Current reports are from about 90 manufacturing plants and represent approximately
60 percent of all workers engaged in manufacturing industries of the State and 66 percent of the total wage
payments. The indexes for the 3 States have been adjusted to conform with the Federal Census of M anu­
factures data through 1937 and will be similarly adjusted to subsequent censuses.
4 Compiled by the Illinois Department of Labor based on monthly reports from about 2,500 manufactur­
ing plants which employ about half of the wage earners in manufacturing industries. Indexes have been
adjusted to census data through 1935, except weekly earnings, for which comparable indexes are not avail­
able prior to 1935.
* Compiled by the Industrial Commission of Wisconsin, based on monthly reports (on wage earners)
from representative manufacturers who employ about 80 percent of the total wage earners and whose pay
rolls are about 83 percent of the total factory pay rolls in the State. Data for the canning and preserving
industry and for railroad repair shops have been excluded. Indexes have been adjusted b y using unem­
ployment compensation data on covered workers, Commission statistics on employment and pay rolls, and
census data. Indexes for employment and pay rolls from January 1929 through July 1937 are weighted
relatives.

o t e .—Index

numbers based on 1923 as 100. Data cover a representative number of plants which em­
ployed 2,412,000 workers during 1941. The earnings are computed by weighting the average earnings in
each industry according to the relative importance of the industry as revealed by the Federal Biennial
Census of Manufactures for 1923. In addition, each labor group is weighted according to the relative
proportion of the group in each industry as revealed in the Conference Board’s studies during the 3-year
period 1927-29. The pay-roll data are based upon the first full week in each month, or, if a generally
recognized holiday falls in that week, upon the succeeding week.

N ote .— T he term “ strike” is here used in the generic sense to include all stoppages of work due to labor
disputes, whether initiated by the employers (lock-outs) or by the workers. Strikes involving fewer
than 6 workers or lasting less than 1 day are not included. Information regarding strikes is obtained
Drincipally from the public press, union publications, and trade journals. Reports are also received from
the various Government labor boards and conciliation services. Information is also obtained from
one of the clothing unions, which began in 1938 to keep a complete record of all strikes conducted by
the union.

SOCIAL SECURITY

[Data in this section relate to continental United States, Alaska, and Hawaii, except as noted]
GENERAL NOTE
O ld -age a n d su rv iv o rs in s u r a n c e .— Federal old-age and survivors insurance, administered by the
Social Security Board under the Social Security Act as amended in August 1939, covers employment in
industry and commerce. Specified employments are excepted, notably agricultural labor, domestic
service in private homes, services for government and for certain types of nonprofit organizations, services
for railroads and certain of their subsidiaries and affiliates, and self-employment. In January 1940, monthly
benefits became payable to qualified workers at age 65 and also to certain dependents of beneficiaries and
certain survivors of insured workers. Benefits are based on the legally defined average wage of the insured
and are paid from the Federal Old-Age and Survivors Insurance Trust Fund, to which is appropriated
annually an amount equal to the total taxes paid by employers and employees under the Federal Insurance
Contributions Act.
E m p lo y m e n t s e c u r i t y —T he Federal-State unemployment compensation program provides for payments
to insured industrial and commercial workers who are able to work but unable to find jobs. Contributions,
based on wages, are paid by employers, and in some States also by employees, to provide funds to be used
solely for the payment of benefits, which are based on prior employment and wages. Under the Social
Security Act the Social Security Board has two statutory responsibilities in administering the unemploy­
ment compensation program. It certifies each year to the Secretary of the Treasury, for purposes of normal
and additional credits under the provisions of the Federal Unemployment Tax Act, the State unemploy­
ment compensation laws which conform to the standards prescribed by the Social Security Act; it also
certifies grants to defray necessary costs of administering State unemployment compensation laws for those
States which, in law and administration, conform to the standards prescribed in title III of the act. Funds
are certified in the amounts determined by the Board to be necessary for the proper administration of State
laws, including administration of employment services in connection with payment of benefits. Until
January 1, 1942, when personnel and facilities of State employment offices were transferred to the Federal
Government for administration by the Social Security Board, grants to States for their employment services
were also made by the Board under the provisions of the Wagner-Peyser Act.
P u b lic a s s is t a n c e .— Under the Social Security Act, the Federal Government shares with the States
the costs of administration and money payments for special types of public assistance (aid to needy persons
aged 65 and over, needy blind, and dependent children under the age of 16 who have been deprived of
parental support, or under the age of 18 if regularly attending school). T o receive a Federal grant under
any one of these programs, a State must have a plan approved by the Social Security Board as meeting the
basic requirements of the act.
S o c ia l in s u r a n c e a n d p u b lic aid.— For analysis of general problems of social security and comparison
of social insurance and public assistance under the Social Security Act with other public provision for in­
surance payments and public aid, the Social Security Board issues data obtained from Federal and State
agencies on benefits and beneficiaries under selected social insurance systems (including programs for
retirement and unemployment insurance administered by the Railroad Retirement Board), on earnings
and persons employed on Federal work programs, and on payments and recipients under special types of
assistance, general relief, and the subsistence program for needy farmers administered by the Farm Security
Administration.

tlement of an existing beneficiary when maximum provisions of sec. 203 (a) of the Social Security Act
amendments of 1939 are effective or from termination of entitlement of an existing beneficiary when mini­
mum provision of sec. 203 (b) of the Social Security Act amendments of 1939 consequently becomes effective;
adjustments in number or amount may also result from actions not otherwise classified.

o t e .—Based on estimated total workers and taxable wages in covered employment, excluding data for
workers with sex and/or race unknown and, in 1937,1938, and 1939, data for workers with railroad retire­
ment account numbers; 1940 data differ, therefore, from those in tables 437, 438, and 439, which represent
only 97.6 percent of estimated total workers and 95.3 percent of estimated total taxable wages. Provisions
of the Social Security Act of 1935, in operation in 1937 and 1938, excluded wages of workers 65 and over; >
■
under 1939 amendments, such wages for 1939 and thereafter are included. In 1937, 1938, and 1939, wages
in excess of first $3,000 a year from any 1 employer excluded; in 1940, all wages in excess of first $3,000 a
year excluded.

i Workers in multi-industry employing organizations allocated to industry (a) in State in which largest
number of workers are engaged and (b) which is carried on in productive or operating units of employing
organization.
3 Allocation by industry of workers and taxable wages of multi-industry employing organizations made
on basis of State of employment estimated from second-quarter tabulation since first-quarter data were
tabulated by State of headquarters of employing organizations (see footnote 1).
3 Partly estimated. Data represent all workers employed some time during quarter; hence are not com­
parable with data in 1938 and 1939 quarterly tables which represent workers on last day or last pay roll
of quarter.

o t e — The Railroad Retirement Act, as passed in 1935 and amended in 1937, established a Federal retire­
ment system for railroad employees. Employers under the act include carriers—railroads, express com­
panies, and sleeping car companies, subject to Part I of the Interstate Commerce Act; carrier affiliates
which perform a service in connection with transportation by railroad—refrigerator-car loan companies,
for example; organizations such as railroad or traffic associations maintained by 2 or more employers;
arid standard railway-labor organizations, national in scope. The act provides for 5 classes of retirement
benefits:
(1) Employee annuities, both disability and old age, based on an employee’s years of service and aver­
age monthly compensation, exclusive of earnings above $300, with employers under the act.
(2) Survivor annuities, paid to the surviving spouse of a deceased employee annuitant who had elected
a reduced annuity during his or her lifetime in order to provide a lifetime annuity for his or her surviving
spouse.
(3) Death-benefit annuities, paid under the 1935 act to the surviving spouse or dependent next of kin
of a deceased annuitant or of a deceased employee who at the time of his or her death was entitled to
receive an annuity. These annuities are equal to half the annuities paid or payable to the employee
annuitants before their death, and are payable for 12 months.
(4) Lump-sum death benefits, paid under the 1937 act to 1 or more designated beneficiaries or to 1 or
more of the deceased employee’s surviving relatives, as prescribed in the amendment of Apr. 8, 1942.
These benefits are equal to 4 percent of the compensation earned as an employee after Dec. 31,1936 (ex­
cluding compensation in excess of $300 in any 1 month), less the aggregate amount of any employee or
survivor annuities that may have been paid. If an employee annuitant had elected a joint-and-survivor
annuity and his or her spouse was alive at the time of his or her death, the death benefit is not payable
until after the death of the spouse.
(5) Pensions paid under the 1937 act to individuals who were, on both March 1 and July 1,1937, on the
pension or gratuity rolls of employers under the act and who were not eligible on July 1, 1937, for annui­
ties based in whole or in part on service prior to Jan. 1, 1937. The pensions are equal in amount to the
individual pensions or gratuities granted by employers, but cannot exceed $120 per month.
The funds of the retirement system come from an equal tax on employers and employees, based on the
amount of compensation, not in excess of $300 in any 1 calendar month, earned by each employee. The
changes in the tax rate are as follows: Calendar years 1937, 1938, 1939, rate 2% percent; 1940, 1941, 1942,
rate 3 percent; 1943, 1944, 1945, rate 3J4 percent; 1946, 1947, 1948, rate V / i percent; 1949 and subsequent
years, rate Z% percent. Thus the total amount of the tax available for the first 3 years of the system is
§Y i percent of total employee compensation (as defined above), and for the year 1949 and thereafter it
will be 7 ^ percent.
Figures for annuities and pensions include amounts payable for a given month on all claims certified
to the end of the month and still in force, and retroactive monthly payments on claims initially certi­
fied or recertified during the month. Cancelations and repayments of amounts certified in previous
months are deducted.

N ote .— Figures for initial certifications are for period during which payment was first certified and not for
period during which annuity began to accrue. Figures for terminations by death are for period during
which notice of death was received and not for period during which beneficiary died. Cumulative
figures exclude claims declared ineligible, erroneous certifications, and erroneous reports of death. .Inforce figures as of any date include only certifications made up to that date, less terminations by death
reported by that date; they are also adjusted for recertifications, reinstatements, and terminations other
than by death (suspension, return to service, recovery from disability, and commutation to lump-sum
payment), items which are not shown in this table. See headnote, table 455.

1 In a few cases payments are made to more than 1 survivor on account of the death of a single individual.
Such payments are here counted as single items. Terminations include those by death and by expiration
of 12-month period for which death-benefit annuities are payable. Practically all terminations are of the
latter type.

Acts for whom wages were reported by subject employers. Some of these employees also had wages
taxable under Federal Insurance Contributions Act and are therefore included in preceding tables on
old-age and^survivors insurance. The earnings in this table include wages and salaries, commissions,
back pay and payments for time lost as an employee, reported by subject employers; however, the
excess over $300 in any one calendar month for an employee is excluded. A month of service is a cal­
endar month in which service for compensation was rendered to subject employers or with respect to
which payment was made for time lost as an employee.

o t e .— The Railroad Unemployment Insurance Act, as passed in 1938 and amended in 1939 and 1940,
established a Federal unemployment insurance system for the same employees who are covered by the
Railroad Retirement Act. Under the Railroad Unemployment Insurance Act contributions first began
to accrue and benefits first became payable as of July 1, 1939. Contributions amounting to 3 percent of
pay rolls are collected from the employers. Unemployed employees may draw benefits if they have earned
at least $150 of creditable earnings in the base year and have served awaiting period for the benefit year.
Under the act prior to the 1940 amendment, as well as under the amended act, the daily benefit amount
is related to the amount of base-year earnings.

i
An application for a certificate of benefit rights is submitted when an unemployed worker applies for
unemployment insurance benefits for the first time in a benefit year.
J A certificate of benefit rights is issued to each employee who has filed an application for a certificate of
benefit rights and who has had sufficient earnings from a railroad employer in the base year to qualify for
unemployment insurance benefits.
8
A claim is prepared for each period beginning with a day of unemployment. The period prior to N ov. 1,
1940, comprised 15 consecutive days, and 14 consecutive days after N ov. 1,1940. It contains registrations
for each day of unemployment in the period and is submitted at the end of the period. Claims are received
even where there are insufficient days of unemployment for the payment of benefits.
4
Adjusted for overpayments and recovery of underpayments. On claims applying to 15-day periods
begun prior to N ov. 1, 1940, benefit payments were certified for qualified claimants who had served their
waiting period if the claimant registered for at least 8 days of unemployment. The amount of the certifica­
tion is the product of the daily benefit amount and the number of days of unemployment in excess of 7.
On claims applying to 14-day periods begun on or after N ov. 1,1940, a benefit payment is certified for quali­
fied claimants who had served their waiting period if the claimant registered for at least 5 days of unemploy­
ment, the amount certified being the product of the daily benefit amount and the number of days of unem­
ployment in excess of 4. In addition, benefits are certified on waiting-period claims, if the number of days
of unemployment in such period is 8 or more; on such claims the benefit is calculated as the product of the
daily benefit amount and the number of days of unemployment in excess of 7. The maximum number of
days of unemployment for which benefits were paid was 80 before N ov. 1, 1940, and 100 since then.
8 An account is opened with the first benefit payment in a benefit year.
« An account is exhausted when an employee has been certified for the maximum number of days of benefits
to which he is entitled in a benefit year.
7 The sharp rise in the average benefit in 1940-41 and 1941-42 reflects the effect of the change in the act.

N ote .— Since N ov. 1, 1916, all service on steam railroads is authorized and paidfor under the space basis
system; formerly, payments were based on a system of quadrennial weighings. Railway mail space units
of service vary in size and character and may consist of a car, a section of a car, or a closed pouch carried on
a car. Some cars are railway post offices, others are for storage only, about 20 classes of units being dis­
tinguished. The “ equated unit” represents a calculation of the equivalent of all the different units in
terms of a 60-foot car. Annual rate of expenditure (regular authorizations) represents estimated cost for
transporting normal mail traffic over regular routes only, based on contracts outstanding at the end of
each fiscal year. “ Annual cost” includes emergency and side and transfer service. Average rates are
based on “ regular authorizations.”

N ote .— Figures cover Class A telephone carriers which reported for 1941. Class A carriers are those car­
riers whose average annual operating revenues exceeded $100,000. The gross operating revenues of Class
A carriers (excluding intercorporate duplications of the Bell System) reporting in 1937 represented ap­
proximately 94 percent of the revenues of all telephone carriers as reported for the Census of Electrical
Industries for that year. (See table 471.) The figures include data for carriers consolidated and merged
prior to 1941, so far as annual data are available. Intercorporate duplications have not been excluded.

1 Ratio of operating expenses to operating revenues.
2 The decrease reflected in data shown for the year 1933 is due mainly to the fact that prior to that year
the total of wire jointly owned with other companies was included, whereas from 1933 on, only the respond­
ents’ portion of jointly owned wire was included.
3 Data for 1926 through 1932 include estimates.
4 In comparing figures in this table, consideration should be given to the minor effect of the revisions of
the Uniform System of Accounts, effective Jan. 1,1933, and Jan. 1, 1937, resulting in certain changes in and
rearrangements of both the balance sheet and the income statement.

1 Fuel equivalent is calculated from kilowatt-hours of power produced wherever available, as is true of all
public-utility plants since 1919. Otherwise fuel equivalent is calculated from reported horsepower of
installed water wheels. Prior to 1890 data were unsatisfactory, but estimates are included in total.
2 Calculated at 26,200,000 British thermal units per ton.
* Based on amount of coal displaced by gas, as estimated by gas companies.
* Figures not available for publication.
6 Excludes data for imports of crude petroleum.

Figures for 1941 in this table and those in table 483 and in tables
485 to 489 are based on the operation of 4,070 power plants, owned by 1,694 concerns, generating electric

energy for sale. The production and capacity of the following types of plants are included: Privately
owned electric utilities, mining and manufacturing (exclusive of plants of those concerns whose sales were
less than 10,000 kilowatt hours per month), railways and railroads, municipal electric utilities, Bureau
of Reclamation, other Federal projects, cooperatives, power districts, State projects, and publicly owned
noncentral stations.

composite (stations having more than 1 type of prime mover).
4 Comprises generated output and energy purchased and received from other sources. Since the energy
“ Received from other sources” was, in a large part, purchased from other electric light and power com­
panies, a considerable duplication is involved, as such energy would also be included in the “ Generated.”
* Includes “ Estimated value of free service.”

o t e .— The system of classification by reporting sources, as shown in this table, is a new one recently
adopted by the Bureau of the Census in collaboration with the Federal Power Commission. This classi­
fication differs slightly from that employed by the Federal Power Commission. (See headnote, table
484.) The differences in the figures are due mainly (1) to the inclusion in the census survey of data for
certain small concerns not canvassed by the Federal Power Commission, and (2) to the inclusion in the
Federal Power Commission survey of data for a larger proportion of the energy output of certain concerns
grouped under “ Other sources” than is accounted for in the census survey.

N o t e .— I n thousands of horsepower. Data for developed water power cover capacity of actual installation

of water wheels and turbines in plants of 100 horsepower or more. Potential power figures are 1936revised
estimates showing the 24-hour horsepower available 90 percent of the time and 50 percent of the time
at an over-all efficiency of 70 percent at all developed and undeveloped sites. Data for potential power
are not directly comparable with those for developed power, because developed power is usually given
in terms of the capacity of installed water wheels or turbines, which may be several times the poten­
tial power available 90 percent of the time. Probably with complete development of the water-power
resources of the whole country the installed capacity would amount to 80,000,000 horsepower or more.i

Also includes 27,049 miles of urban extensions, 3,267 miles of which are not under State control.
2 See note 1, table 499.
3 Includes original and reconstructed surfacing. In addition to mileage here shown, surfacing on secondary
rural roads under State control totaled 8,722 miles in 1939 and 6,789 miles in 1940, and surfacing on urban
extensions of State systems totaled 938 miles in 1939 and 1,003 miles in 1940.
4 Includes new location.
• Mileage for urban extensions under State control included with rural roads, as segregation by types was
not available, except for 159 miles of urban extensions existing in Georgia at the end of 1940.

N ote .— F igures include disbursements, whether from current revenues or the proceeds of loans, for con­
struction, maintenance, interest and principal payments on highway bonds, transfers to local units, and
miscellaneous disbursements. Data beginning 1934 cover calendar years, while figures for earlier years
for many States represent fiscal years. Figures for 1940 and 1941 are not comparable with those for prior
years as they include data for certain State income applicable to highways, namely, proceeds of highway user imposts allotted, without passing through the State highway departments, by the State treasurer,
for (1) county and other local roads and streets and for (2) nonhighway purposes. These data were not
included in prior years.

20. TRANSPORTATION, AIR AND LAND— STEAM AND
ELECTRIC RAILWAYS, EXPRESS COMPANIES, MOTOR
BUSSES, AND CIVIL AERONAUTICS
[Data in this section relate to continental United States qnless otherwise stated]
The term “ steam railways” as used in this section includes electrified divisions oper­
ated by such carriers. The total steam railroad mileage of the United States comprises: (a) Regular inter­
state carriers (and their nonoperating subsidiaries) reporting to the Interstate Commerce Commission,
(6) switching and terminal railroads, also reporting to the Commission; and (c) private railroads (defined
by the Commission as “ circular” because they report on brief circulars and as “ unofficial” ). Except in
certain mileage data the circular and unofficial companies are not included in any of the statistics. The
switching and terminal roads were formerly included with operating railways, but are now separated, and
data for them do not appear in most of the tables.
Nonoperating subsidiaries include proprietary companies, which are covered by the reports of operating
carriers, and lessor companies which have no traffic and whose reports appear only in statistics of capitali­
zation, dividends, and investment.
Operating railways are divided into three classes, according to the amount of their annual operating rev­
enues, class I, having more than $1,000,000 of such revenue; class I I, from $100,000 to $1,000,000; and class
III, less than $100,000. During recent years more detailed reports are required from class I carriers than
from smaller companies. The basis of the figures in each table is indicated by notes. Omission of class
I I and class III railroads affects very little the comparability of statistics with those of earlier years as
regards most items, since the bulk of the business is done by class I.
The Interstate Commerce Commission divides railroads geographically into three districts and eight
subsidiary regions. Each railroad is treated as a unit and placed wholly in some one district or region.
Broadly speaking, the eastern district includes territory east of Chicago and north of the Ohio and Potomac
Rivers; southern district, territory east of the Mississippi River and south of the Ohio and Potomac Rivers;
and western district, the remainder of the country.
Class I companies make monthly reports from which data are compiled currently and published in a
series of monthly statements. The yearly totals from these reports become available earlier than the
sometimes slightly corrected totals from the final annual reports. The latest figures in these tables are in
many cases from the monthly reports.

of main tracks). The first and second columns cover all railways, including “ circular” and “ unoffi­
cial” lines; the last 5 columns omit “ circular” and “ unofficial” lines. Mileage owned excludes all
duplication and covers continental United States only. Mileage operated includes some duplication
under trackage rights and some mileage in Canada operated by United States companies.

1 Data exclude switching and terminal companies beginning 1910. Class III roads are excluded in 1913.
Exclusion of the latter has practically no effect on the comparability of the figures. Information for 1916
is incomplete, as 20 of the larger railways did not report, and is not shown.
2 Calculated for all classes of employees, including those not paid on an hourly basis.
* Data cover Federal reports, reports of companies not under Federal control, and corporate reports.

N o t e .— All figures in thousands of tons of 2,000 poun ds.

Data relate to years ended June 30 prior to 1916,
to calendar years thereafter. Switching and terminal roads excluded beginning with 1908. Figures for
1911 to 1915, inclusive, exclude class III roads but this affects the comparability very slightly; those after
1916 exclude both class II and class III, thereby reducing the grand total about 6 percent. Non­
revenue freight is excluded; this is a large item in the case of a few commodities, notably coal.1

No. 538. — St e a m - R a il w a y A cciden ts — N u m b e r of P e rso n s K il l e d
I n ju r e d , b y S t a t u s : 1891 to 1941

and

N ote .— For various reasons, including the fact that returns were required under different acts, the statistics
are not strictly comparable. Prior to 1921, train accidents were those causing damage to railway prop­
erty in excess of $150 or any damage and a resulting casualty. Thereafter they were considered as such
when the damage exceeded $150 with or without a casualty. Where the damage is less than $150 and
there is a reportable casualty it is classified as a train-service accident. Figures for years 1911-1915 in­
clude industrial and other nontrain accidents to emplpyees only, and for years 1908-1910 do not cover
switching and terminal roads. Otherwise the statement covers all reportable accidents, including
those due to suicide, mental derangement, and attempting to escape custody.

N o t e .— T he census of street railways, which was first taken in 1890, and which has been taken at quin­
quennial intervals beginning with the inquiry for 1902, covers (1) all street railways, without regard to
kind of motive power, and (2) all interurban railways using other than steam as motive power. The
nonelectric railroads included are those operated principally by cable and gasoline engines. Operations
of electrified divisions of steam-railway companies are not included. Figures in this table and tables
544-546, 548,550 do not include data for motorbus and trolley-bus operations of electric street railways.
(For motorbus and trolley-bus statistics from census reports, see tables 551-553.)

21. WATERWAYS, WATER TRAFFIC, AND SHIPPING
(Data in this section cover the following areas unless otherwise indicated: From Board of Engineers of the
United States Army, Bureau of Customs, and Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce, United States
customs area which includes Alaska, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico, and, from Jan. 1, 1935 through Dec. 31,
1939, Virgin Islands; from United States Maritime Commission, continental United States. Later figures
than now shown in tables in this section will not be published during war period]
G e n e r a l n o te a s to u n i t s o f m e a s u re m e n t .— “ Cargo tonnage" represents weight of cargo in long tons (2,240
pounds) or short tons (2,000 pounds). A ll other tonnage figures refer to capacity of vessels. The terms
gross and net tonnage refer to space measurement, 100 cubic feet being called 1 ton. Gross tonnage is the
capacity of the entire space within the frames and the ceiling of the bull, together with those closed-in
spaces above deck available for cargo, stores, passengers or crew, with certain minor exemptions. Net
or registered tonnage is what remains after deducting from the gross tonnage the spaces occupied by the
propelling machinery, fuel, crew quarters, master’s cabin, and navigation spaces. It represents substan­
tially space available for cargo and passengers. The net tonnage capacity of a ship recorded as "entered
with cargo” may bear little relation to actual weight of cargo. Dead-weight tonnage is the weight in
long tons required to depress a vessel from light water line (that is, with only the machinery and equip­
ment on board) to load line. It is therefore the weight of the cargo, fuel, etc., which a vessel is designed
to carry with safety. Displacement tonnage (naval vessels) has reference to weight of the vessel itself
with its normal equipment, fuel, etc.

Francisco, 52,589,000; local traffic of other seaports, 40,099,000; local traffic of lake ports, 12,301,000.
2 Excluding St. M arys Falls Canal traffic (89,294,000 tons in 1940) and additional Detroit River traffic
(18,294,000 tons in 1940), data for which are already included in figures for Great Lakes traffic; also excluding
duplications relating to rivers and canals themselves.
* Principally coastwise and lake traffic passing through canals and connecting channels other than the
St. Marys Falls Canal and the Detroit River.
* Estimated from figures in this table on assumption that all deductions represent duplications in
domestic traffic. There are, however, some minor duplications in figures for foreign traffic.

parts of a harbor for which separate statistics are maintained. These forms of traffic, although the aggre­
gate tonnage is large, are of much less economic importance than foreign and coastwise traffic

1 Sailing vessels, canal boats, and barges.
2 Tfie decrease of tonnage arises principally from the registered tonnage having been corrected in 1818,
1829, and 1830 by striking off all vessels the registers of which were granted prior to 1815, which were sup­
posed by the collectors to have been lost at sea, captured, etc.
3 Figures as of Dec. 31 are latest available for publication. Later data, compiled by Treasury Depart­
ment, Bureau of Customs, will not be published during war period.
4 Including Puerto Rico and Virgin Islands.
5 Including Hawaii and Alaska.

FOREIGN COMMERCE OF THE UNITED STATES

o t e .—All statistics in this section, except tables 588 and 617, were compiled b y the Depart­
ment of Commerce, Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce through April 1941 and by the Bureau
of the Census thereafter. Statistics of United States foreign trade were published annually in Foreign
Commerce and Navigation of the United States through 1940 and were published currently in M onthly
Summary of Foreign Commerce of the United States and in mimeographed statements through Sep­
tember 1941. After the issuance of the September 1941 figures, the publication of foreign trade statistics
b y countries and b y commodities was discontinued for the duration of the war. Values of total exports
and total imports are published in monthly press releases. Except as noted (as, for example, in table
615) the values stated are in United States dollars without reference to changes in the gold content of the
dollar. (The statutory price of gold—$20.67 per ounce—in effect prior to Jan. 31, 1934, was changed on
that date by Executive Order to $35 per ounce. Between Mar. 10, 1933, and Jan. 31, 1934, the foreign ex­
change value of the dollar was permitted to depreciate as a result of restriction placed on gold shipments to
foreign countries.) The geographic area covered b y these statistics, except as noted, is the United States
customs area, which includes Alaska, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico, and from Jan. 1, .1935, through Dec. 31,
1939, the Virgin Islands (see headnote, table 587). Other explanations of the trade tables are given in the
introduction to the annual report, Foreign Commerce and Navigation of the United States.

F o r e i g n C o u n t r i e s a n d O u t l y i n g T e r r i t o r i e s a n d P o s s e s s i o n s : 1903 t o 1941
I mportant N o te .— This table differs as to its geographic basis from all other foreign trade tables in this

section and in other publications: (1) In the case of other tables the data represent the trade of the “ sta­
tistical customs area,” which includes continental United States, Alaska, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico,
with all foreign countries, including the Philippine and, prior to 1935, and for 1940, Virgin Islands. (The
Virgin Islands were treated as part of the “ Customs area” from January 1, 1935, through December 31,
1939.) The data do not cover trade between continental United States and the territories included in the
customs area as given above. (2) The present table takes continental United States as the basis. In the
totals, trade between it and all United States Territories and possessions is included, while the trade be­
tween that part of the cus toms area outside of continental United States and foreign countries is excluded.
Practically all other nations calculate their foreign trade in the manner followed in the present table;
that is, totaling the trade of the home country with foreign countries and with all outlying areas. Prior
to 1901 Alaska was our only outlying area. Therefore, our foreign trade statistics for 1900 and earlier years
very nearly represent the trade of continental United States with foreign countries. Data are for years
ended June 30 through 1918; thereafter, for years ended Dec. 31.

1 Increase is the equivalent of net export and decrease the equivalent of net import. The reverse is
true of changes in gold earmarked abroad for account of Federal Reserve banks, which were as follows:
In 1932, an increase of $72,638,000, equivalent to a net import; and in 1933, a decrease of $72,638,000.
2 Net release of gold from earmark during January at rate of $20.67 a fine ounce, $12,206,000; net release
during remaining 11 months at rate of $35 a fine ounce, $70,347,000.

N o t e . —Agricultural

production is gross income, excluding feed, seed, and waste. Value added b y manufac­
ture represents manufactures. Value of mine products in 1909 and 1919 are census figures, in 1929 census
data plus petroleum products, while estimates for other years are based on data of the Bureau of Mines.
As the figures are not adjusted for price changes, the increase or decrease in absolute values from period
to period should be disregarded.

N o t e . — The

quantity and unit value indexes have been constructed by the so-called “ ideal formula,”
the essential feature of which is the use of the quantities of the several articles as weighting factors of
their unit values for each pair of years compared. About 265 commodities were included in the direct
calculations for both exports and imports. It was then assumed that the prices of articles in each
economic class not directly covered had moved in parallel with those of articles covered and their value,
adjusted by the computed price index, was included in the aggregative totals from which the quantity
index for each class was calculated. The index of quantity and unit value of total exports and imports
was based on the aggregate of the adjusted totals of the classes. In constructing the indexes the data for
1919 were linked directly to 1913, and each subsequent year was compared with that preceding. The
resulting year-to-year percentages were made into a series by the chain method.

N o t e .— A ll figures in thousands of dollars. For basis of dollar values, except export figures for 1865 and
1870-78, see general note, p. 536. Export figures for those years represent mixed gold and currency values
and hence do not agree with the specie values given for total exports in other tables. Figures cover fiscal
years to and including 1915, calendar years beginning 1916. Import data are “ general imports” through
1933; “ imports for consumption” thereafter. Exports and imports of the interior districts, a small per­
centage of the total, are not included in this table.

figures in thousands of dollars. For basis of dollar values, except export figures for 1865 and
1870-78, see general note, p. 536. Export figures for those years represent mixed gold and currency values.
Figures cover fiscal years to and including 1915; thereafter, calendar years. Import data are “ general
im ports’ ’ through 1933; “ imports for consumption” thereafter. Areas of districts were rearranged
July 1, 1913. Prior to that date some of the districts were more restricted. However, in most cases
this change only slightly affects the comparability of the figures. Prior to 1914 the statistics given in
the table for Buffalo include the (former) districts of Buffalo Creek and Niagara; those for Michigan
include the (former) districts of Superior, Huron, and Detroit; and those for Massachusetts and Maryland
were the former districts of Boston and Baltimore, respectively.

536. Figures represent “ general imports” for 1931 and 1932, inclusive, and “ imports for consumption” beginning 1933. Figures for 1931-35 are annual
averages. For a number of items data are not shown separately for all years from 1931 to 1935, and for this reason many averages for 2, 3, and 4 years are shown in the table.
However, averages shown for group totals always cover 5 years. In some cases the detail does not add to the total because of the different periods covered by the averages.
Blanks indicate no data or data not shown separately. Relatively small items, “ Articles, ordinarily dutiable, imported free for supplies of American vessels or for the United
States Government, etc.,” are included in the proper commodity classification for 1933 to 1940. For 1931 and 1932, those articles were included in the proper group totals but not
shown separately except in group 9.

iT h e discrepancy between the United States figures of exports to the Philippines prior to 1911 and the
Philippine figures of imports from the United States in corresponding periods is due chiefly to the fact
that the Philippine import figures prior to that year omit merchandise imported free o f duty for the use of
the Government or for use in construction and equipment of railways in the islands, under the act of Feb.
6, 1905, while the United States returns omit only Government supplies carried b y Government vessels.
2 Continental U . S. through 1938; includes outlying areas thereafter.
Sources: Prior to 1939,-reports of U. S. W ar Dept, and Insular Collector of Customs; 1939 to 1941, Com ­
monwealth of the Philippines, Bureau of Census and Statistics. See general note, p. 670.

E n t e r p r is e s — S u m m a r y :

N ote .—The statistics for drainage on farms in the first part of this table were collected from the individual
farmers, while those for drainage enterprises were obtained from a special canvass of organized drainage
enterprises. A farm m ay have artificial drainage without being included in any organized enterprise;
conversely, an organized enterprise m ay include a farm on which there is no artificial drainage, because
the enterprise facilitates the removal of water from that farm. Drainage enterprises comprise public
corporations and local improvement districts established under State laws relating to drainage, com ­
mercial en terprises draining land for sale, other organizations engaged in extensive land drainage work,
and tracts of 500 acres or more drained b y individual farm owners. The enterprises m ay include tim­
bered and other unim proved land not yet in farms. Data as to drainage on farms were not collected in
the census of 1940. The canvass of drainage enterprises did not include the N ew England States, N . Y.,
N . J., or Pa.; Del. and M d . were included only in 1940; no enterprises were found in Ala. or W . Va. before
1940, and none in Va. in 1920.

1 Based on data for 122 agricultural import classifications.
J Supplementary agricultural imports consist of all imports similar to agricultural commodities produced
commercially in the United States, together with all other agricultural imports interchangeable to any sig­
nificant extent with such United States commodities. Complementary agricultural imports include all
others, about 95 percent of which consist of rubber, coffee, raw silk, cacao beans, wool for carpets, bananas,
teas, and spices.

o t e .— All amounts, except per capita, in millions of pounds.
Pork production represents total hogcarcass weight, less raw fat from carcass which was rendered into lard. Other meat production repre­
sents dressed carcass weight only, with edible byproducts excluded. Lard production represents ren­
dered weight of lard. Uninspected production includes farm, retail, and non-federally inspected whole­
sale slaughter. M eat obtained from cattle, calves, and sheep purchased for slaughter by Federal Govern­
ment in 1934 and 1935 in connection with drought-relief activities are not included. Exports and im­
ports of meats comprise the several kinds of meat converted to a dressed-carcass-weight basis. Lard
exports represent rendered lard, including neutral lard. Exports include shipments to Alaska, Hawaii,
Puerto Rico, and Virgin Islands. Consumption represents production plus imports less exports, with
allowance for changes in storage stocks. Figures for recent years are subject to revision.

N o te .— All figures in thousands of pounds.

Production, except census data, is estimated and is for calen­
dar years; figures for 1909 and later years’have been revised because of revised estimates for numbers of
sheep, based on 1935 census data. Pulled wool is included beginning 1900 and was probably included
for 1870 to 1899, though the exact basis of the estimates for these years is not known. Figures for 1839,1849,
and 1859 include only fleece.
Exports and imports for 1839 are for the fiscal year ended Sept. 30; for 1849
and 1859, fiscal years ended June 30; subsequently, calendar years. Imports and foreign exports prior to
1914 and domestic exports for all years include hair of the Angora goat, alpaca, and other like animals.

N ote .—Acreage in thousands.

Figures do not show total crop losses chiefly because of large acreage of
hay land which produced only pasturage in some dry seasons and because of incomplete estimates on
losses of sorghums, rye, and other crops. Acreage excludes incidental abandonment resulting from hail,
local overflow, poor soil, neglect, etc. Small grains harvested as hay, and corn which was salvaged as
fodder or silage or by hogging or grazing, are included in harvested acreage.

Tons are of 2,000 pounds. For weights of the units of measurement for principal products, see
Appendix, p. 1032. The approximate weights of units of measurement for other products are as follows:
Number of pounds to a bushel— sweetpotatoes, 55; grain sorghums, 56 and 50; clover seed, 60. N um ber of
pounds to a barrel of cranberries, 100. Prices and yields for the periods are weighted averages except for
cotton and cottonseed, which are simple averages of prices and yields for the individual years. Acreage,
production, and yield of all crops except cranberries have been revised to census data.

Production figures relate
to crop of preceding year and are compiled from individual reports of ginners. Beginning 1911, price
per pound represents average price received b y growers, as computed by Department of Agriculture;
for earlier years, it is average price of average grade marketed in New Orleans prior to April 1 of following
year. Consumption figures relate to 12 months during which crop of specified year was chiefly marketed,
and not to calendar year. Export and import figures (compiled by Bureau of Foreign and Domestic
Commerce through April 1941, Bureau of Census thereafter) relate to 12 months beginning Sept. 1 for
years prior to 1915, and to 12 months beginning Aug. 1, thereafter. Figures for linters are included in
those for consumption prior to 1909, and in export figures prior to 1915. Separate figures for linters prior
to those years not available. See 1937 Statistical Abstract, table 659, for figures for years prior to 1905.1

States, various Government bureaus, and similar sources. Data for unprotected areas are necessarily
incomplete, as reliable data were not obtainable prior to organized protection. Figures for fires on Indian

This table (except for National Forest areas) does not take into account the vast amount of intangible
and indirect damage resulting from forest fires, such as decay of damaged timber, replacements of desirable
species of trees by less desirable but more fire-resistant ones, soil deterioration and erosion, loss of wildlife, *
uncertain stream flow, interrupted tourist traffic, and the like.

N o t e .— Statistics cover producing operations only. In general, those for 1939 cover only those operations
(or concerns producing crude petroleum, natural gas, and natural gasoline, and rendering oil- and gasfield services) for which total value of all products, reported principal expenses, cost of buildings, ma­
chinery, and equipment during the year, or cost of drilling and equipping wells during the year amounted
to $2,500 or more. For bituminous coal and lignite an output criterion of 1,000 tons of coal was sub­
stituted for value of all products. Statistics for the common sand and gravel industry exclude data
for operations that produced less than 15,000 tons of sand and gravel unless reported principal expenses
or cost of buildings, machinery, and equipment during the year amounted to $15,000 or more. Statistics
for 1929 cover, in general, only those “ enterprises” for which total value of all products or cost of devel­
opment work amounted to $2,500 or more. Bituminous coal and lignite mines that produced less than
1,000 tons of coal and common sand and gravel operations that produced less than 25,000 tons of sand
and gravel, were excluded. Statistics for 1919 exclude data for “ enterprises” for which value of all products
was less than $500 or cost of development work was less than $5,000. Noncommercial production of
stone and sand and gravel obtained from mines or quarries operated by governmental agencies, public
utilities, or by construction companies or contractors producing wholly for their own use or on contract
for governmental agencies is excluded for all years.

w Contractors engaged chiefly in development work for other concerns in the mineral industries; Penn­
sylvania anthracite strip-pit and culm-bank contractors are excluded. Statistics for contractors performing
oil- and gas-field services exclude data for oil- and gas-field work performed on contract b y concerns that also
operated oil and gas wells for their own account unless separate reports were obtained for each of these two
types of activities. Statistics are also excluded for concerns rendering oil- and gas-field services or producing
crude petroleum, natural gas, or natural gasoline whose reports covering these activities indicated that
neither the value of products and services rendered, nor reported principal expenses, nor cost of buildings,
machinery, arid equipment, nor cost of drilling and equipping webs amounted to as much as $2,500 during
1939. Statistics for contractors performing general services for mineral industries exclude data for con­
tractors that received or were due less than $2,500 for work done during 1939.
3 Represents amounts received or due for services performed during the year.
5
36 Statistics cover, in general, only those operations that had reported principal expenses or cost of build­
ings, machinery, and equipment during the year of at least $2,500; for common sand and gravel the cor­
responding minimum was $15,000. Statistics include data for oil- and gas-field operations in States in which
the reporting concerns had no products, provided the concerns were large enough to come within the scope
of the census as defined in headnote of table 819.

N o t e .— D ata cover continental United States and, for leading products, outlying areas. Certain of the figures represent shipments rather than quantity mined, and some of the
figures for 1941 are preliminary. Total values of metallic and nonmetallic products include figures which the Bureau of Mines is not at liberty to publish and estimated figures for
certain products for which data are not available. In some cases, neither quantity nor value can be shown and those products are not listed here but data for them are included in
totals. On the other hand, values for certain products, such as coke, are excluded from the totals to eliminate duplication, since the values of the products derived therefrom, or
of raw materials used, are accounted for under other items. Short tons are 2,000 pounds; long tons, 2,240 pounds.

N o t e .— The sum of the State totals in the table below does not agree with the total for the United States
given in tables 817 and 822 chiefly because of the following reasons: (1) Figures for certain of the products
included in the United States total are not available b y States of origin; (2) the use of iron ore values in
State totals and pig iron values in United States total; (3) the use of mine figures for gold, silver, copper,
lead, and zinc in the State totals and mint and smelter figures in the United States total; and (4) the
- inclusion of estimates in the United States total for a few products for which no canvass has been con­
ducted for m any years and for which no estimate b y States is made.

N ote .— All quantities except ore produced in millions and tenths of millions of pounds. Production
figures include continental United States and Alaska. Owing to the varying stages of production, the
stocks in different classes of hands, the redistribution of copper previously purchased, the recovery and
use of old copper, etc., calculations of consumption are somewhat uncertain. Th e American Bureau
of M etal Statistics presents consumption estimates rather widely different from those given below. Con­
sumption as shown represents the quantity of copper withdrawn on domestic account, but not actual
domestic consumption, as no account is taken of consumers’ stocks.

N ote .—Exports are those classed as "dom estic” in the foreign trade statistics but include copper smelted
or refined in the United States from imported ore or unrefined metal. Values include all forms of copper.
Quantities represent all copper except the small ite m ," Other manufactures.” Copper content of exports
of ore for years 1891-1915 and of imports for years 1894-1903 was estimated.

GOLD AND SILVER

No. 8 4 7 .— G old and Silver— Production in C ontinental U nited States ,
A laska , Puerto R ico, and Philippine I slands: 1792 to 1941
N

o t e .— The value of gold, in terms of money, being at a fixed rate, is not shown in the table.
Goldisvalued
at $20.67+ per fine troy ounce from 1837 through 1933. In 1933, however, varying higher prices prevailed
subsequent to the Executive order of Aug. 29. The value of gold production for 1933, as computed by
the Bureau of Mines, was $65,338,000, including $52,842,000 calculated at legal coinage value ($20.67+per
ounce) plus $12,485,000 premium calculated at average weighted price ($25.56 per ounce). On Jan. 31,
1934, the legal valueof gold was fixed at $35 per fine ounce.
The value of silver given is commercial value,
except for 1921 to June 1923 and beginning 1934 (see footnotes 1 and 2), which has differed materially from
coinage value.

N o te .— T he London price is converted to the basis of the ounce 1,000 fine and converted to American
money at par of exchange through 1930; thereafter, at the current rate of exchange. London quotations
are in depreciated currency after Sept. 21, 1931, also in some prior year periods, including 1918 to 1924.
New York quotations are in depreciated currency after early March 1933. The commercial ratio is com­
puted on the basis of London quotations through 1914; thereafter, on the basis of the N ew York average
price. Beginning with 1934 the monetary value of gold is $35.00 per fine ounce as compared with $20.67
in previous years. The value of fine silver (3711-4 grains) in the dollar is computed on the basis of London
quotations through 1917; thereafter, on the basis of the New York average price.

33. MANUFACTURES
[Statistics in this section relate to continental United States except as noted. For additional statistics on
manufactured food products, mineral products, and forest products, see sections 27, 28, 29, 30, and 31]
G eneral N o t e — The Census of Manufactures was taken decennially prior to 1899 and for each fifth
year thereafter through 1919, and has been taken every second year from 1921 to 1939. However, the Census
of Manufactures for 1941 has been abandoned as directed by Executive Order No. 9152, in the interests of
more important work related to the Nation’s war effort. The censuses for 1904,1909,1914, and 1919 covered
all factories or plants whose products were valued at $500 or more, but, beginning with 1921, the minimum
lim it has been $5,000. As a rule, the term “establishment” signifies a single plant or factory, but in some
cases an establishment operates two or more factories and in a few cases two or more departments of a
.single plant or factory are treated as separate establishments. At the censuses for 1937 and 1939, however,
an establishment operating two or more factories was counted as two or more establishments. The total
number of establishments was increased approximately 2,000 by this change.
“Value of products” represents selling value at the plant or factory. Because of the use of the products
■of some establishments as materials for others, the total cost of materials and the total value of products
for all industries in a given group, and for all groups in the aggregate, include much duplication, estimated
■at roughly one-third of the gross value of products. Such duplication is not, however, found to any great
‘extent w ithin individual industries.
The 1939 Census of Manufactures questionnaire, for the first time, called for personnel employed in dis­
tribution, construction, etc., separately from the manufacturing employees of the plants, and therefore the
data for earlier years probably are not strictly comparable with those for 1939. It is not known how many
of the wage earners and the salaried employees reported at previous censuses were engaged in distribution
and construction and how many were engaged in manufacturing.
It is sometimes necessary, for various reasons but chiefly because of changes in census classification, to
make adjustments in the figures for earlier census years. Adjustments have been made in the figures
beginning with 1899 as a result of the exclusion from the Census of Manufactures since 1929 of the industries
“ Coffee and spice, roasting and grinding,” “ Flax and hemp, dressed,” “ Gas, illuminating and heating,”
“ Grindstones,” “ M otion pictures, not including projection in theaters,” “Peanuts, walnuts, and other
nuts, processed or shelled,” and “Railroad repair shops” (both steam and electric).
Detailed quantity and value figures for products of selected manufacturing industries are presented in
certain of the census tables in this section and in sections 27, 28, 29, and 31. The “total value” figures for
the respective industries, as given in those tables, differ from the values of products of the corresponding
industries, as given in table 893, because of the inclusion in the product-value totals in those tables, but
not in the values of products for the corresponding industries in table 893, of data for the respective classes
of commodities made as minor or secondary products by establishments engaged primarily in other lines
of manufacture.

1 Because of the change from $500 to $5,000 in the minimum-value-of-products limit, the “ Number of
establishments reporting power equipment” figures for 1919 and earlier years are not comparable with those
for 1929 and 1939. This change did not, however, materially impair the comparableness of the figures for
the other items in this table.
2 Returns for “ Logging camps and logging contractors (not operating m ills),” numbering 967, were ex­
cluded from power tabulations.
3 Includes 47,192 horsepower reported as other owned power, not distributed b y type of prime mover.
4 Includes 28,213 horsepower reported as other owned power, not distributed by type of prime mover.
3 Figures for “ Steam engines” include data for “ Steam turbines,” not reported separately.
6 Figures for “ Other internal-combustion engines” include data for “ Diesel and semi-Diesel engines,”
not reported separately.
7 Includes data for water motors.
8 N ot available.

products, etc., assignable to the classes of commodities from which the industries derive their names,
as it is necessary for census purposes to classify each establishment as a whole in some one industry,
according to its product of chief value, although in many cases a single establishment manufactures
two or more classes of commodities. See also general note, p. 885.

figures in thousands of pounds. Figures represent the equivalent in unstemmed leaf tobacco
of stemmed leaf or scraps, cuttings, and clippings. In the following table the tobacco used in the manufac­
ture of cigars and cigarettes was converted on the basis of 3 pounds of stemmed leaf or scraps, etc., to 4
pounds of unstemmed beginning 1915 (conversion prior to 1915 was at the ratio of 3 to 5) and of tobacco
and snuff beginning 1903. For J896 to 1902, tobacco used in manufactured tobacco and snuff was shown
only under two heads, namely “ leaf” and “ scraps.” It is probable that stemmed leaf was included
with unstemmed tobacco under the head of “ leaf” without the one kind being converted to the equivalent
in the other. The conversion ratio of 3 to 4 was applied only to “ scraps” for these years. Data exclude
tobacco used in bonded manufacturing warehouses (see table 918).

N o t e .— A ll money figures are in thousands of dollars. Data represent the activities of the motion-picture
studios and laboratories. They do not include the distribution of films and their projection in theaters.
N o data are included for establishments which reported less than $5,000 as the cost of work done. The
motion-picture industry has been canvassed, since 1921, in connection with the Biennial Census of M anu­
factures. It is not, however, a manufacturingindustry, but was treated as such prior to 1931.

N o t e .— The figures for 1939 do not include data for plants reporting products valued at less than $2,000;
those for earlier years cover all plants having products valued at $500 or more. This increase in the
m inimum value-of-products limit resulted in some reduction in the “ Number of establishments” reported
as compared with what it would have been had the minimum of $500 been retained, but did not seriously
impair the comparableness of the figures for 1939 with those for earlier years. Comparable figures for
earlier years are given for all industries for which such figures are available.

data are included for the following classes of industries: (1) Those in which no sales were made,
the plants being maintained for the purpose of making repairs; (2) those in which plants were engaged
primarily in performing labor on materials owned by others so that their sales represented sales of services
rather than commodities. This table is limited to industries for which the 1929,1935, and 1939 figures are
directly comparable, whereas table 929 covers all industries for which 1939 figures are available. For
comparative purposes, data covering direct export are excluded.

N ote .— Indexes of automobile sales are based on unit sales figures reported monthly to the Automobile
Manufacturers’ Association, which represent over 95 percent of all dealers’ sales. The unit sales figures
are converted to dollar volume by the use of a computed “ average realized price.” Indexes of sales in
small towns and rural areas are based on figures furnished by three mail-order companies for sales by
mail only and by a large group of chain units operating in small towns and cities which serve the rural
population. Sales of reporting concerns represent about one-fourth of all general merchandise sales in
places of less than 30,000 inhabitants. Indexes of both variety store sales and grocery chain store sales are
based on figures furnished by chain organizations doing more than 70 percent of the business in the respec­
tive fields. For the variety store index adjustment has been made for changes in the number of stores
operated by the companies so that the index reflects sales changes for a constant number of stores. All
indexes are computed from dollar sales reduced to a daily average basis. In computing the index of
automobile sales, equal weight is given to all days of the month and for the shifting date of new model
introduction, while in computing the other three indexes, allowance is made for the varying number of
business days in the months and the varying sales importance of the different days of the week. The
monthly indexes of all four series are adjusted for seasonal changes and, in addition, the variety-store
index is adjusted for the changing date of Easter.
[Daily average basis. 1935-39=100 for first 3 columns; 1929-31 = 100 for last column]

1 Employees and pay roll include paid executives of corporations but not number and compensation of
proprietors of unincorporated businesses.
2 Statistics for 1935, adjusted for comparison, are as follows: Number of establishments, 631,309; receipts,
$3,000,699,000. The adjustment was made by revising the original 1935 figures to include certain kinds of
business that were not included in the Service Census but were published in other census reports and by
excluding others which were within the scope of the 1935 census but were omitted from the 1939 census.
For a comparison of the two items by industries, see source.
8 For figures for earlier years, see table 950, p. 981.
4 Includes manufacturing plants with products valued at less than $5,000 and therefore not covered by
the Census of Manufactures.

1939

N ote .— T he census of service establishments covers a heterogeneous group of establishments (see table
948) engaged primarily in the sale of service, as distinguished from establishments dealing in merchan­
dise. The professional field, the financial, educational, transportation, construction, and diverse other
fields of business activity, many of which are covered elsewhere, are not included. Owing to differ­
ences in the scope of the 1935 and 1939 censuses of service establishments, the aggregates for 1939 are not
comparable with those for 1935 as published in the 1937-40 issues of the Abstract.

N ote .— The census coverage of hotels is restricted, in the main, to establishments which are designated
as hotels and which provide hotel accommodations as their major business activity. For 1935 and 1939,
the canvass was limited to hotels having at least 6 guest rooms or having receipts from room rentals
amounting to at least $500 for a full year’s operations. Because of differences in coverage for 1929, 1933,
1935, and 1939, comparable data are available only for year-round hotels having 25 or more guest rooms.

N o t e — F or State figures, see table 955. Public works and public utilities cover some projects not measur­
able in terms of floor space, such as highways, pipe lines, subways, etc. Statistics for the 37 States were
not compiled for years prior to 1925, bu t available figures covering a varying number of States for earlier
years have been published in the 1932 and previous issues of the Statistical Abstract. Figures for the
individual States and districts in table 955 represent the value of construction contracts awarded in the
States and districts where the work was actually done.
[Values in millions and tenths of millions of dollars; floor space in thousands of square feet]

1 Owing to change in classification, data for airports have been excluded from “ Commercial” class and
included with “ Public utilities” for 1930 and subsequent years. Separate figures for airports are not avail­
able for years prior to 1930.
2 Owing to change in classification, figures for “ Industrial” class exclude data for pipe lines for 1929 and
subsequent years (separate figures not available for years prior to 1929), which data are included with those
for “ Public utilities.”
3 Figures exclude data for 23 projects, valued at $29,551,900, for which data by class of construction are
not available. These projects were under Civil Works Program, which was nothin existence after March
1934.

V alue:

1919

1942

Note.—1923-25 average= 100.

Indexes are derived from monthly figures of construction contracts awarded
reported by the F. W . Dodge Corporation. Reports covered 37 States beginning with M a y 1924 and a
varying number for earlier years. In order to obtain comparable figures from 1919 to date, the total value
of construction contracts awarded in .37 States was estimated for January 1919 through April 1924. Sea­
sonal adjustments were computed separately for “ residential” and “ all other” types of construction and
the two series combined. The indexes are based on a 3-month moving average, centered at the middle
month. For a more detailed description of the indexes, see the Federal Reserve Bulletin for July 1931.

Note.— Figures cover new

buildings and repairs to old buildings, but exclude data for installation permits
(those for installing boilers, signs, etc.) which are not strictly building operations. Although installation
permits are rather numerous, they represent a small dollar value. The quantity figures represent the
number of buildings covered by permits issued (new construction and repairs, etc.) rather than the num­
ber of permits. Buildings authorized by permit are not always constructed, and the actual cost of those
constructed m ay differ considerably from the value reported on the permit. The cities shown had a
population of 50,000 or over in 1940.

N ote .—The estimates represent the value of work performed during the year, as measured by expenditures

for labor, material, and other items. They consequently differ from building permit and construction
contract data which measure the value of work started. In addition, they have a generally broader cover­
age than permit and contract data. Figures include value and cost of installation of equipment which
is an integral part of a structure, but not that of machinery, shipbuilding, or land costs.

N o te .—T he 1939 Census of Construction covered all persons or establishments whose principal business

in 1939 was utilizing construction materials and labor in construction work for others, or for themselves
for speculative and investm ent purposes, on projects located w ithin the lim its of continental United
States. It included erection and installation departments of manufacturers and merchandisers, when it
was an important but not necessarily major portion of their business enterprise. Force-account work,
ship and boat building, and installation and servicing of domestic appliances were not included. “ Work
performed” represents contract or order value of work done by the contractor’s or builder’s own forces.
Work sublet to others was not included as work performed in the report of the builder or general con­
tractor, but was reported as part of the business of the special trade contractor who received the sub­
contract. “ Construction work” includes alterations and repairs, as well as new construction and
additions. Data for establishments reporting less than $500 of work performed in 1939 are not included.
The canvass is known to have been incomplete in coverage of small contractors who operated from their
homes. M ost of this shortage occurred in metropolitan districts. It is believed that this undercoverage
affects materially only number of establishments and number of proprietors.

N ote .— 1929 and 1939 comparisons must be limited to establishments reporting business of $25,000 or more
as the 1929 census covered only that size group. That size group in 1939 accounted for 77 percent of total
value of work performed by all contractors and builders regardless of size. Geographic distribution is
based on office address of reporting establishment, not location of construction project.

N o t e .— C osts are shown in this table for April of each year for the cities in the N ew Y ork, Indianapolis,
Des M oines, and Portland Districts; for M a y of each year for the cities in the Pittsburgh, Cincinnati,
Little Rock, and Los Angeles Districts; and for June of each year for the cities in the Boston, WinstonSalem, Chicago, and Topeka Districts. In figuring costs, current prices and wage rates are obtained
every 3 months from identical sources in each of approximately 80 cities. These data are the basic
material for the computation of the small-house building cost index given in table 970. The various
units of material and labor are selected to conform with their contribution to the total cost of the com­
pleted dwelling. The standard 6-room frame house for which costs are given is not one completed and
ready for occupancy, but only with all fundamental structural elements included. It does not include
wallpaper, lighting fixtures, screens, etc., nor do costs reported include land, landscaping, or fees. These
figures can be used to study the trend of costs within an individual community or for a comparison of
trends in different cities. However, the total cost in one city cannot be compared directly with the
total cost in another city nor is the estimated total cost figure for a given city comparable with the actual
cost of constructing a 6-room house in that city.

N o te .— The cities included in the real-property inventory were selected from every State in the Union
as a representative sample of urban housing in the United States. The cities chosen vary in size from
a population of 11,000 to more than 1,000,000*. The total population of the areas canvassed constituted
about one-seventh of the total urban population of the United States. The survey covered all build­
ings with residential units except hotels, clubs, rooming houses, and summer cottages. Data for the
individual cities included in this summary are shown in table 815 of the 1935 issue of the Statistical
Abstract.

to size. Thus, the median rent is the rent which divides the total number of dwelling units into two equal
groups, one having rents higher than the median and one having rents lower than the median. M onthly
rental data include contract rent of tenant-occupied units and estimated rent of owner-occupied and vacant
units. Figures for “ All dwelling un its" include vacant units.

In the United States petroleum and its products are measured b y bulk, not
weight. Whether handled in containers or without them the quantities are cus­
tom arily reduced to the equivalent of barrels of 42 United States gallons (barrel
thus equals 158.984 liters). In m any foreign countries these commodities are
measured b y weight. The specific gravity of the different grades of crude petro­
leum and of the finished products varies materially. On the basis of approximate
averages the Departm ent of Commerce in converting foreign weight statistics
to gallons or barrels of 42 gallons uses the factors shown in the following table:

GENERAL N O TE

This bibliography contains under the various subject headings references to
the important sources of primary data for the United States. Sources of second­
ary data have been referred to if the information contained therein is presented
in a particularly convenient form or if primary sources are not readily available.
One-time studies presenting compilations or estimates for several years or new
types of data not available in regular series are included.
M uch valuable information will also be found in State reports and in reports
for particular com m odities, industries, or similar segments of our econom ic and
social structure.
However, because of the large number of such references, they
are not included here.
Section references on the right hand side of each page indicate that data from
the report cited appear in the Statistical Abstract. Where current reports and
a summary volum e are both cited in the bibliography the section reference will
often appear opposite the summary volume only. Reference to the sections
indicated will enable the user to ascertain the type of inform ation presented in
the original source. However, it should not be assumed that all of the subjects
from that source are summarized in the Abstract.
The location of the publisher of the report is given except for Federal govern­
mental agencies located in Washington. M ajor inquiries, such as the Census of
Population, are referred to by name rather than by specific volume references.
