Indexes for the major industry groups have been adjusted to levels indicated by final 1944 data made available by the Bureau of Employment Security of the Federal Security Agency. 2 Revisions have been made as follows in the indexes for earlier months: Sugar, beet.-July 1946 pay roll to 73.8. Paving materials.-May, June, and July 1946 pay roll to 163.5, 168.3, and 171.4. TABLE 3.-Estimated number of employees in selected nonmanufacturing industries 1 Data are for production workers only. Excludes messengers, and approximately 6,000 employees of general and divisional headquarters, and of cable companies. The change in definition from "wage earner" to "production worker" in the power laundries and cleaning and dyeing industries results in the omission of driver-salesmen. This causes a significant difference in the data. New series are being prepared. Source: Interstate Commerce Commission. Based on estimates prepared by the U. S. Maritime Commission covering employment on active deepsea American-flag steam and motor merchant vessels of 1,000 gross tons and over. Excludes employment on vessels under bareboat charter to, or owned by the Army or Navy. Beginning with October 1946, data relate to the end of the preceding month. Data for the week ending nearest September 15 are not available. |
