Foreword
This 1957 edition of BUSINESS STATISTICS is the eleventh volume in a series initiated
twenty-five years ago. Designed to provide the businessman and others with a wide-ranging
array of facts about the economic situation since 1929, it represents the most useful arrangement of background information which the Office of Business Economics can devise to meet the
need long since expressed by the business community for a handy reference book supplementing
the up-to-date economic indicators issued monthly in our Survey of Current Business.
There are more than 2,600 individual statistical series shown in the present volume, corresponding to those for which current data appear regularly in the 40-page Monthly Business
Statistics section of each issue of the Survey of Current Business, Here will be found monthly
or quarterly data from January 1953 through December 1956, with annual averages from 1929
through 1956. When this volume is used as intended—in combination with the magazine which
it supplements—there becomes available a consecutive line of data for each series covering a
period of almost 30 years.
Keyed to each page of statistics is a section of explanatory notes. These furnish additional
information essential to the proper use of the data, as for example definitions of the statistical
units employed, methods of collection, adequacy of samples, and names and addresses of the
original compilers.
Demand for previous editions of the biennial BUSINESS STATISTICS supplement has
largely exhausted the supply available from the Superintendent of Documents, U. S. Government
Printing Office, except in the case of the more recent issues. Where earlier editions are out of
print, recourse may be had to the reference copies to be found in the Field Offices of the Department of Commerce or in the hundreds of depository and other libraries maintaining files
throughout the Nation.
To locate monthly data for most series prior to 1953 the user can be guided by the following
allocation of time periods to earlier editions of BUSINESS STATISTICS. Unless otherwise indicated in the descriptive notes the 1955 edition should be consulted for monthly data covering
1951-52; the 1953 edition for 1949-50; the 1951 edition for 1947-48; the 1949 edition for 1945-46;
the 1947 edition for 1941-44; the 1942 edition for 1938-40; the 1940 edition for 1936-37; the
1938 edition for 1934-35; the 1936 edition for 1932-33; and the 1932 edition for previous years.
Many private organizations and Government agencies have contributed generously to the
compilation of statistical series assembled here, and to the preparation of the explanatory notes
requisite to their authoritative application in economic analysis. The Office of Business
Economics well appreciates that without their untiring work on the basic series and their cooperation in furnishing materials regularly to the Survey of Current Business neither the present
volume nor its predecessors could have been published. A list of the data sources to which we
are indebted precedes the General Index.
The 1957 edition of BUSINESS STATISTICS was prepared by the Current Business Analysis
Division, of which Dr. Charles A. R. Wardwell is Chief. K. Celeste Stokes, Chief of the Statistical Series Section, was in immediate charge of its preparation. Staff members contributing
were:
Leo V. Barry, G. Alva Carriere, Lucille E. McClarren, Jean M. Plass, Edith M.
Robinson, Sylvia D. Serafin, Anne Taeves, and Myrtis E. Wright.
