<br />However, it is of record that the number of industrial employees
<br />in the metropolitan area expanded from 150,000 in 1939 to more
<br />than 400,000 in 1942. Assuming that half of this 250,000 emploree
<br />increase is made up of newcomers and that each employee repre-
<br />sents two and one-half new residents, the basin population would
<br />hl<ve grown approximately 300,000 to June 30, 1942. Deducting
<br />for residents taken away by military operations and by evacuation
<br />and allowing for military forces still within the basin, the net
<br />increase in population is estimated to be approximately 250,000,
