Statistical Brief: Export Manufacturers Compete Successfully in Pay, Productivity, and Presence
Statistical Brief: Export Manufacturers Compete Successfully in Pay, Productivity, and Presence
Report Number SB/94-22
Research documenting the role of U.S. export manufacturers from 1976-1987 confirms that plants that produce and sell products for export are larger, more capital intensive, more productive, and pay higher wages and salaries than plants that do not export. Also, exporters demonstrate "shrink resistance" as the manufacturing sector shrinks in total number of workers.
This research uses newly available data on the U.S. manufacturing sector. These data link information on exporters to the Longitudinal Research Database (LRD) housed at the Center for Economic Studies of the U.S. Census Bureau.
