Quantitative Aspects of the Economic Growth of Nations: III. Industrial Distribution of Income and Labor Force by States, United States, 1919-1921 to 1955

The aim of these international comparisons was to study the changes in these industrial distributions that accompanied economic growth, i. e., a rise in per capita income, and the resultant shifts in the intersectoral differentials in product per worker.
