NEW FORMAT FOR
EMPLOYMENT AND EARNINGS. . .
A major revision has been made in the
arrangement of this publication. All
tables are now in 1 of 3 major sec
tions, A—employment, B—labor turn
over, and C—hours and earnings. In
planning the new format, primary con
sideration was given to improving the
sequence and grouping of data, and we
believe the reader will find the new
EMFLOYI'ENT AND EARNINuS a much more
convenient reference source.
NEW AREA SERIES. . .
Beginning with this issue, manufac
turing hours and earnings data for
the Wheeling-Steubenville metropoli
tan area will be shown in table C-8.
For sale by the Superintendent of Documents, U. S. Government Printing Office, Washington 25, D. C. Subscription prices $3.50 a year; $1 additional for foreign mailing. Single copies vary in price. This issue is /{0 cents.
