Table 1.- Estimated 2~ur.be r of Production Workers in ilanuf act urine Industries l/Cont'd

\J Estimates for the major industry groups have been adjusted to levels indicated by the final 1944 data made a^ailaole by the fureau of 3nploynent Security of the Federal Security Agency and should not be compared with the manufacturing employment estim&tes of production vrorbers plus salaried employees appearing in Table 6. Data for the major industry groups are not comparable with data published in mimeographed releases dat^d prior to April 1946 or the !«a.yr 1945 issue of the Monthly Labor Review* Comparable series from January 1944 are available upon request. Estimates for individual industries have bt?en adjusted to levels indicated by the 1539 Census of Manufactures, but not to Federal Security Agency Data. For this reason, together with the fact that this Bureau has net prepared estimates for certain industries, the sum of the individual industry estimates will not agree with the totals shown for tho major industry groups.

2 / .Revisions have been mace as follows in the data for earlier months:

Refrigerators and refrigeration equipment - December 1945 production workers to 4-1*7. ID4-C' annual average to 45.2.
