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.
