WASHINGTON – When you’re dropping candy into trick-or-treaters’ bags tonight, keep in mind that 37,128 people were employed by U.S. manufacturing plants that produce chocolate and cocoa products in 2014, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.

And another 17,815 people are employed by plants that produce non-chocolate confectionery products.

There are, according to census figures,118.3 million American households for trick-or-treaters to hit tonight, and only 41.1 million potential trick-or-treaters – children 5 to 14.

The sort-of-good news is neighbors agree that 78.7 percent of U.S. households are trustworthy.
