TABLE 5.-WAGE EARNERS ENGAGED IN MANUFACTURING, BY MONTHS, FOR THE UNITED STATES, 1939, 1937, AND 1929, AND BY STATES, 1939 TOOLS (EXCEPT EDGE TOOLS, MACHINE TOOLS, FILES, AND SAWS) [A preliminary report for this industry was issued October 23, 1940] Description of the industry. This industry, as constituted for census purposes, embraces establishments primarily engaged in the manufacture of hand tools (not including power-driven hand tools) other than edge tools, files, and saws. Some of the principal types included are hammers, wrenches, pliers, screw drivers, shovels, forks, rakes, and hoes; and a variety of special tools used by garagemen, jewelers, plumbers, stonecutters, ironworkers, etc. The manufacture of cutlery and edge tools, files, and saws is covered by separate industry classifications. Because of the large variety of tools in this group and the inability of many of the manufacturers to supply detail data on products, it is necessary to restrict the presentation in table 4 to four broad classifications of tools. |
