                     1947-1951 (4)--Original Data, 1951-1956. NBER Derived Data From Source
                     By Adding Production Worker Employment In The Following Industries:
                     Blast Furnaces; Steel Works And Rolling Mills; Iron And Steel
                     Foundries; Miscellaneous Primary Metal Industries; Fabricated Metal
                     Products (Except Ordinance Machinery Etc.) Minus Lighting Fixtures.
                     See Files For Details. Certain Nonferrous Metals And Products Cannot
                     Be Eliminated From The Industrial Groups Covered In This Series.
                     Through 1950 The Data Include "Secondary Smelting And Refining Of
                     Nonferrous Metals", Excluded From 1951 On. This Industry Accounts For
                     Approximately 12% Of Employment In "Miscellaneous Primary Metal
                     Industries" In 1947 (Then Called "Other Primary..."), And If Added To
                     That Group In 1953 Would Account For About 8%. The "Lighting Fixtures"
                     Group Is Included Through 1951, And Has Been Excluded In The Second
                     Segment Of This Series Beginning In 1951. None Of The Other Series
                     Repesenting Nonferrous Metals Can Be Eliminated From The Group
                     "Fabricated Metal Products..." Significantly Lower Figures For
                     June-July 1952, And July 1956 Reflect Work Stoppage. Source: Bureau Of
