le 19-Estimated IJumber of Produotion VJorkers in llanufacturing Industries Jl/oont!d

Estimates for the major industry groups have been adjusted to levels indicated

by the final 1945 data made available by the Bureau of Employment Security

of the Federal Security Agency and should not be compared with the manufac

turing employment estimates of production workers plus salaried employees

appearing in Table 6* Estimates for individual industries have been adjusted

tc levels indicated by the 1939 Census of Manufactures, but not to Federal

Security Agency data* For this reason, together with the fr.ct that this Bureau

has not prepared estimates for certain industries, the sum of the individual

industry estimates will not agree with totals shown for the major industry, groups#

Revisions have been made as follows in the data for earlier months:

7*

Forgings, iron and steel - October 1045 production workers to 24*3*

Mattresses and bedsprings ■* October 1945 production workers to 14.3.

Explosives and safety fuses - October 1S45 production workers to 29S,
