The 1951, 1950, and 1949 "Average number of employees" is based on reported employment totals for the pay roll periods ended nearest the 15th of March, May, August, and November. For 1947, an average based on the mid-month employment for 12 months was used. 2Value of products less cost of materials, supplies, fuel, electric energy, and contract work. The percentage standard errors, shown in this column indicate the differences that can be expected between the estimates and comparable complete canvass totals, because of sampling fluctuations. The estimates will differ from the complete totals by less than: 1) The percentage shown: approximately 2 times out of 3. ii) Twice the percentage shown: approximately 19 times out of 20. (111) Three times the percentage shown: almost always. To maintain comparability with 1951 and 1949 employment estimates, approximately 7,000 employees at plants not in production during 1950 have been added to the Division total, and as follows to the state totals: Washington, 700; Oregon, 1,900; and California, 4,400. These figures, however, are not included in the data shown for industry groups. In addition, some of the 1950 estimates for a few industry groups have Code no.

"The totals shown for 1947 do not include employment at central administrative offices and auxiliary units. "The Annual Survey figures for major group 24 are not strictly comparable with 1947 data. In 1947 only sawmills that produced more than 200,000 board feet of lumber were required to report the information shown in this table, whereas for the Annual Surveys it was requested of all sawmills. It is estimated that all mills in the United States producing less than 200,000 board feet account for approximately 3 percent of total employment for major group 24. No estimate has been made of the importance of these small mills for individual States or Geographic Divisions. 7The logging industry (Industry 2411) was excluded from the 1947 Census of Manufactures, but included in the Annual Surveys of Manufactures. Administrative office and auxiliary unit employment is based on the number of employees reported as of mid-March under the Old Age and Survivors Insurance program. The administrative and auxiliary employment and pay roll figures for 1950 were also used for 1951, as 1951 QASI program data were not available for this publication. The approximated annual total pay roll figure shown in Column B was derived by multiplying by 4 the first quarter taxable pay roll figures listed in the Joint Census-BOASI publication, County Business Patterns, First Quarter 1950. The figures shown for administrative office and auxiliary units do not represent a separate industry group but rather a balancing total for all Table 1.--VALUE OF SHIPMENTS, BY SELECTED CLASSES OF PRODUCTS, FOR THE UNITED STATES: 1951, 1950 AND 1947 (DOLLAR FIGURES IN THOUSANDS. A "class of products" is a homogeneous grouping of individual products within an industry. It is designated on the following table by a 5-digit code in column A, the first four digits indicating the industry (as defined in the Standard Industrial Classification System) and the fifth digit, the specific group of products. The value of shipments shown for a product class (5-digit) is on a "wherever made" basis, i.e., it represents total shipments of that class by all industries (the industry in which the product class is "primary" and other industries in which it is produced as a "secondary" item). The total value of shipments of all product classes belonging to an industry is also shown, on the same "wherever made" basis. It is designated by the 4-digit industry code followed by a dash (e.g., "2011-") if there are two or more product classes belonging to the industry; a 4-digit code followed by a zero indicates that there is only one product class belonging to the industry. This product class aggregate should not be confused with the total industry value of shipments, as presented in other Annual Survey tables. This latter total comprises all shipments by establishments classified in the specified industry, including their shipments of product classes primary to other industries but excluding shipments by establishments in other industries of product classes primary to the specified industry. For the most part, the 1951 and 1950 product class estimates are derived from the 1951 Annual Survey and are qualified by the sampling variations (in percent) shown in columns (F) and (G). Where the 1951 and 1950 values are other than annual survey estimates, letter symbols appear in column (F); the reference list of sources appearing at the end of the table is keyed to these letters. An estimate is not shown for a product class or an aggregate if it is inconsistent with related data, or the associated standard error of estimate exceeds 15 perUnpublished estimates, including cent. The suppressed product class estimates are included, however, in the totals of product classes. those which can be derived by subtraction, are generally unreliable.) 81 |
