The Estimate for New Jersey.
A similar estimate was constructed for New Jersey. Inasmuch
as the New Jersey data are based, particularly in the early years,

sFor 1895 to 1919, the above estimates were computed, by methods described in the accompanying
text, from the U. S. Census of Manufactures’ statistics of numbers employed in New Jersey factories for
the years 1904, 1909, 1914, and 1919, supplemented by statistics of employment in reporting factories pub-
lished annually by the New Jersey Bureau of Statistics of Labor and Industries for the years prior to 1914,
and by the Bureau of Industrial Statistics of New Jersey for 1914 to 1919. The estimates prior to 1895 are
based chiefly on fragmentary data contained in two special ‘panic inquiries’ covering the periods from
June, 1893, to May, 1894, and June, 1894, to May, 1895, respectively, and were not used in computing the
index of manufacturing given in Table IV, in the appendix.
upon a sample representing each year a varying proportion of the
total, it was necessary to make an estimate of the December-to-
January movement. For the years 1889-1909 the known or es-
timated change in Massachusetts was used. For the years 1909-
