SOURCES AND METHODS
Tables C-i, G-2, G-3 (Actual), and G-4 (Projected)
Rates were computed from the population and labor force data for 1890—1950
and 1940—65 described in sources for Table A-3. 1970 data, from [35, p. 130].
(Data for 1980 and 1970 include Alaska and Hawaii.)
Tables G' and G-4 (Predicted)
Sex-age distributions of the "domestic" working-age population (i.e., exclud-
ing immigration during the preceding decade) obtained in the components of
change analysis were used (cf. sources for Table A-3). For estimates of popula-
tion and labor force by school-enrollment status, marital, and child-dependency
status, use was made of [12, pp. 46, 54, 58], [52, p. 2311, [116, Tables A-2, A-61,
[174, p. 17], [177, p. 114], [195, pp. A-8, A-13), [198, p. 141, [202, p. 221],
and relevant tables in the census summary volumes for 1950 and 1980. Projected
population distributionsfor 1970 by these characteristics based on series B
population projections, underlying [35], were kindly supplied by BLS.
