In this 1949 STATISTICAL SUPPLEMENT to the Survey of Current Business the Office
of Business Economics presents to the business world more than 2,600 series of commercial and
governmental statistics and explanatory notes, incorporating the most recent additions and revisions available up to the date of publication.
The SUPPLEMENT series, since its inception in 1931, has been constantly developed and
improved upon by the Department of Commerce with the cooperation of government agencies,
business, and private organizations—so that today the 1949 edition represents one of the
most comprehensive compilations of background statistical data available for use in connection with current monthly figures. All of these series are carried monthly in the Survey of
Current Business, and many of them are made available on an even more timely basis through
their appearance in the Weekly Supplements to that magazine.
The organization of this 1949 SUPPLEMENT lends itself to quick and efficient .research. The statistical tables first present monthly data from January 1945 through December
1948 and annual averages of monthly data from 1935 through 1948. The explanatory notes which
follow contain brief but complete descriptions and explanations of the data covered in the
tables and in the monthly" issues of the Survey of Current Business. Finally, the sources
from which the data are derived are listed.
With this arrangement the STATISTICAL SUPPLEMENT is a basic tool for the businessman, economist, and statistician engaging in current analysis or research in business -and related economic problems. The descriptive notes, providing the reader with information essential to the proper use of the.data, include definitions of the statistical units employed,
methods by which the data are collected, adequacy of samples, etc. In addition, the notes
direct the reader to sources of monthly and annual data prior to January 1945 and call attention to changes in the nature of data affecting their comparability. The exact sources of
each series are listed so that the reader may, if occasion demands, communicate directly with
the original source of the data for further information.
The SUPPLEMENT as the historical record of the statistical series appearing monthly
in the Survey of Current Business may be brought up to the present by the use of that magazine. When used with the previous issues (1932, 1936, 1938, 1940, 1942, and 1947) the 1949
edition provides in many instances continuous coverage of monthly data back to 1919, and for
some series, where no major revisions have occurred, to an earlier date.
Sales copies of Statistical Supplements prior to 1947 are no longer available, but reference copies have been placed with field offices of the Department of Commerce and are on
call in Government depository libraries throughout the country.
The Office of Business Economics gratefully acknowledges the continuing cooperation of
the various private and governmental agencies which provide the basic statistical series contained in the monthly issues of the Survey of Current Business and in the 1949 STATISTICAL
SUPPLEMENT.
This publication was prepared in the Current Business Analysis Division, of which Dr.
C. A. R. Wardwell is Chief. The development of the statistical tables and their descriptive
notes was under the immediate supervision of K. Celeste Stokes.
