'able 1.-Estimated Number of Production Workers in Manufacturing. Industries l/Cont'dJ January 1947 estimates arcs based on reports from 32,100 cooperating establish

ments covering 7,165,000 production workers. Estimates 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. Estimates ,f?r individual industries have been adjusted to levels indicated by the 1939 Orsus of Manufacture? 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 fox* the major industry groups.

/ Revisions have been made, as follows in the data for earlier months:. Trunks and suitcases October”1946 to 15.0.
