I am running into difficulty getting my hands on numbers that tell us how many people were working on, inventing, using computers in the USA in the 1940s. Does anybody have any data on this matter that I can use? Or point me specifically to where it is at? I will settle even for data on specific places, like Philadelphia, Boston, New York.

Thanks.
