Title	Impact of the war on employment in 181 centers of war activity [electronic resource].
Item Number	l0016
Creator (Corporate)	United States. Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Government Publisher	U.S. Government Printing Office
Original Date	1945
Physical Description	iv, 32 p. ; 24 cm.
Series	Bulletin ; no. 826
Summary	This bulletin presents estimates of wartime changes in employment in 181 areas. Data previously released (mimeographed) on 72 of the areas are included. Similar data for more recent months will appear later. The periods chosen for employment comparisons are April 1940 (for which data are available from the United States Census of Population); November 1943 (a month near the peak of war production); May 1944; and September 1944. Estimates of civilian employment in manufacturing establishments and in other nonagricultural establishments are given for these dates for each area. Estimates of employment in several of the more important industries in each area are presented separately, wherever this can be done without disclosing data from individual firms. Employment in military and naval establishments is also shown separately in areas where such employment is relatively large. United States Census estimates of population for November 1943 are given for comparison with April 1940 population in each area. In compiling the estimates of area employment presented herewith, the Bureau has supplemented its manufacturing employment statistics for metropolitan districts with other employment statistics that it collects currently and with data from the War Manpower Commission, State unemployment compensation commissions, State departments of labor, and other sources. These estimates, presented in absolute numbers, will be more useful measures of wartime dislocations than the indexes heretofore published by the Bureau. More particularly the data hitherto available covered only manufacturing employment, and no break-down of these figures was available for the leading industries within the community... [T]he figures here presented show the general magnitude of the changes that the war has brought to individual communities.--p. 1.
