Peter Edson Analyzes U S Manpower Outlook for 1943
Peter Edson argues accuracy is impossible with 1940 census data outdated by two years. He cites War Manpower Commission estimates showing large gaps between needed and available workers for 1943, with a difficult balance to shore up through gains in armed services, war production, and farm labor, while civilian sectors shrink. He stresses farm labor figures differ between sources and that overall shortages require at least 4.6 million additional workers.
