Original Note:
Labor force status and population data collection occurred prior to 1939. https://www2.census.gov/library/publications/1960/compendia/hist_stats_colonial-1957/hist_stats_colonial-1957-chD.pdf For data not directly collected, estimates exist. https://www.u-s-history.com/pages/h1528.html Fact check ignores available data for years prior to 1939; including said data disproves the NYT's assessment.
