The United States is the world's largest exporter — currently selling $200 billion of U.S. goods abroad — and is the world's largest economy. With 5 percent of the world's population, our coun- try produces 24 percent of the world's industrial goods. Exporting provides a broader marketing base for U.S. firms and is considerably more important than many Americans realize. Exports currently account for 5 million jobs in the United States. On average, 25,000 jobs are generated per $1 billion of U.S. merchandise exports. Many jobs depend on exports Employment generated by exports is much great- er than the number actually employed in producing the final products shipped abroad. Exports create a large demand for employment that spreads throughout our economy. This includes all the jobs needed to produce goods and services supplied to export pro- ducers, the jobs needed by the export producers to produce exports, and the jobs needed to move prod- ucts to our ports or borders for transport to other countries. Most of the export-related jobs are in manufactur- ing and services. According to the latest estimates, 49 percent of the jobs are in manufacturing, 37 percent in services, and 14 percent in production of nonmanufactured goods. The importance of export employment varies among the industries. About one out of every eight Americans currently employed in manufacturing is dependent on exports of manufac- tured goods. About one out of every six jobs produc- ing nonmanufactured goods and one out of 24 jobs in services are export-related. Exports affect production and employment in all industries, not just in a few major export industries. For example, while the primary metals industries directly export about $6 billion of their products annually, an additional $21 billion of steel and other metals are exported in the form of American- made computers, aircraft, tractors, and other man- ufactured goods. Exports are of great importance to America's farm- ers as well. They account for $1 of every $4 of farm sales. Likewise, many jobs in the coal mining and mineral industries, as well as a considerable number in the fishing industry, are dependent on overseas sales. Exports also support employment in the truck- ing, rail transport, insurance, and other service industries. Exports essential But the basic importance of exports is that they are the principal means by which America pays for its purchases from foreign countries. The United States imports proportionately far less than other major countries, but imports have become increas- ingly important to the American standard of living — and they have to be paid for. The other major indus- trial nations generally cover the cost of the goods they import by their exports. Merchandise exports and imports each account for an average of about 20 percent of the gross national product in that group of countries. American exports, however, were only 5.9 percent of GNP in 1983, while the ratio of imports to GNP stood at 7.8 percent. This gap between exports and imports is the trade deficit, which amounted to $57.6 billion in 1983. The strength of our exports means a great deal to America. Exports are important to all the 50 states, and each state plays a significant role in meeting the need to export more. This report helps explain that role and shows the significance of exports in rela- tion to employment and production.

They rose slightly faster than production in that period. An estimated 13,700 jobs in Louisiana were directly related to producing manufactured exports in 1981. About 1 1,100 additional jobs were required to produce materials and parts for incorporation in products exported from the 50 states. Thus 24,800 jobs in Louisiana were dependent on exports of manufactured goods — about one of every eight manufacturing jobs in the state. Louisiana's share of U.S. agricultural exports totaled $626 million in FY 1982. In Louisiana's farm sales, $1 of every $3 came from exports. The fourth largest U.S. exporter of fish products in 1981, Louisiana shipped abroad $64 million worth, more than one and a half times the 1977 value. Manufactured exports soared Louisiana's exports of manufactures totaled 3.7 billion in 1981, an increase of 149 percent over the 1977 value. In this period the state moved from 21st to 14th place in the nation as an exporter of these goods. Its exports accounted for 2 percent of the U.S. total. Export growth outpaced the 96 percent increase in Louisiana's production of manufactures. Chemicals and allied products were by far the largest of Louisiana's overseas shipments, account- ing for nearly half the 1981 total. Other important exports included petroleum products, manufactured foods, primary metals and paper products. Louisi- ana ranked second nationally as an exporter of chemi- cals, third in petroleum, fifth in primary metals, and eighth in food manufactures. Chemical sales abroad were valued at $1.8 billion in 1981. This amount was almost one and a half times the value of shipments in 1977. Exports were 13.1 percent of production in the industry and gen- erated employment for an estimated 5,000 workers. As an exporter of petroleum products, Louisiana shipped abroad $584 million worth, 7 times the 1977 value. The industry employed 700 workers in the production of these products for export. The share of the industry's output in the state was two percent in the period covered. Rising by 41 percent above the 1977 value, export sales of food products were $392 million. About 1,200 workers were employed in jobs directly relat- ed to these exports. Nine percent of the state's output in the industry was shipped overseas in 1981. Of the growth in output in the 5 year period, 10 percent stemmed from exports. The paper products industry, fourth largest in Louisiana, sold $234 million worth of goods overseas in 1981, 11 percent of production. That share was substantially higher than the 6.2 percent in 1977. The value of exports in 1981 was about one and a half times greater than 4 years earlier, and the number of jobs directly related to exports rose from 700 to 900. The Census Bureau has estimated that the full impact of U.S. exports on Louisiana's manufactur- ing activity was 12.8 percent rather than the 6.4 percent attributable to direct exports as shown in table 3. Estimates including supporting shipments of materials and parts for incorporation in products exported from 50 states are shown in tables 6 to 8. Thus, of the expanded manufacturing output gen- erated between 1977 and 1981, 17 percent — or $1 out of every $6 — was due to export-related shipments. Soybeans, rice leading farm exports Louisiana's share of U.S. agricultural exports in FY 1982, including some manufactures of farm origin, totaled an estimated $626 million, up 15 percent from the FY 1977 level. The state's leading export commodity was soybeans. Shipments abroad were valued at $270 million in FY 1982. Rice, the second largest export, accounted for $170 million in for- (continued on back cover) U. S. Depository Cor. Explanatory Notes State export statistics presented in this report are esti- mates, in contrast to national export statistics, which are compiled from export documents prepared at the time goods leave the country. This note considers the reasons for, and consequences of, that difference. Export estimates for each state are needed in order to measure the relative impact throughout our nation of changes in goods sold abroad. National export data are compiled each month in detail by types of goods sold and summarized in large commodity aggregates and overall totals — but in order to measure exports by each state of origin, which is not identified in shippers' export docu- ments, special studies are necessary. This report — one in a series of reports for each state — brings together state export estimates from studies by various U.S. Government agencies on manufactured goods, agricultural products, fishery products, and selected miner- als. Overall totals for all goods exported from each state are not shown since these studies differ in methodology, frequency, export valuation, and U.S. geographic cover- age, and the manufactures and agricultural studies some- what overlap the products covered. Manufactured Exports in this report relate to manufac- tures as defined in the Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) and include manufactured food, mineral fuel prod- ucts, fats, oils, firearms, and ammunition not typically part of the Standard International Trade Classification (SITC) definition of manufactures. For the United States as a whole, exports of these additional products totaled $28.5 billion in 1981. Exports, normally valued at the port of exportation, are adjusted to f.o.b. plant values to make accurate comparisons with production (shipments) data. The state estimates for manufactured goods are based on surveys of manufacturers conducted by the Industry Division of the Bureau of the Census. These studies are for selected years; cover the continental United States, Alaska, and Hawaii; and present data classified by the 20 major SIC industry groups (2-digit). Tables 1 to 3 show the value of state exports and state production, and the number of workers employed in manufacturing plants producing the finished goods for direct shipment to for- eign destinations. State economies also benefit from manufactured goods produced for ultimate export through other states, and from jobs related to manufactured exports which are gen- erated in nonmanufacturing industries. In the table below, percentages show the full impact of export-related manufactures on state employment. Tables 6 to 8 show the percent of production and the value of state export- related manufactures — direct exports plus indirect exports or the value of materials and parts incorporated in prod- ucts exported from elsewhere in the nation — and the number of state export-related workers employed in manufactur- ing plants producing these goods. Table 8 also shows the total number of workers related to manufactured exports — in manufacturing plus the number in nonmanufacturing industries supporting manufactured exports by supplying materials or services such as forwarding, warehousing, transport, and other foreign trade-related services. Agricultural Exports relate to food products other than those from marine sources, unmanufactured tobacco, and other agricultural products simply processed such as fibers, raw hides and skins, fats and oils, wine and beverages other than distilled types. The state estimates for agricultural exports are from studies prepared by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Exports reflect shares in national exports according to each state's production and sales data. Export values were obtained by multiplying each state's share of farm pro- duction by commodity times the total export value for each of the respective commodities. These annual studies are for fiscal years ending September 30 and for all states except Alaska, and show data classified by 18 commodity groups. Tables 4 and 5 show the value of state exports and the percent of farm sales. Other Exports — Fishery products, various minerals, and fuel export estimates shown in the Highlights on page 1 for selected states are from studies prepared by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the U.S. Department of Interior, and the U.S. Department of Energy, respectively. Exports generally reflect shares in national exports according to state production.

The strong growth in exports of agricultural prod- ucts from FY 1977 to FY 1982 accounted for 25 percent of the rise in farm sales and added substan- tially to the income of Louisiana farmers. In this period, the export contribution to each dollar of the state's farm sales was 37 cents. Leading shrimp, fish oils exporter Louisiana exported fishery products valued at $64 million in 1981, compared with an estimated $42 million in 1977. The state ranked fourth in U.S. shipments of fishery products. Slightly less than half the total, or $31 million, was in fresh, frozen, canned, or cured form. Shrimp, the largest single fish export, accounted for nearly three quarters of that amount and the state led the nation in the export of this product. Louisiana was the largest U.S. exporter of fish oils, selling overseas about $20 million worth in 1981, almost two and a half times the 1977 value. The state's foreign sales were nearly three-fifths of the nations's total exports. As the largest exporter of fish meal, Louisiana shipped $7.4 million worth of that product to foreign destinations. Sulfur exporter Louisiana's foreign sales of sulfur were valued at $72 million in 1981. The state was second behind Texas as an exporter of that product. Iron and steel scrap exports from Louisiana totaled $6 million. The state was also one of several that delivered a total of $18.1 million of salt to foreign markets, mostly to Canada. Export-related employment up Louisiana's $3.7 billion worth of manufactured exports provided direct employment for an estimat- ed 13,700 workers in 1981. From 1977 to 1981 the number of workers engaged in the production of manufactures rose by only about 7 percent, while employment directly related to exports advanced by 61 percent. Over half of these workers were concen- trated in the chemicals, food, and nonelectric machinery industries. These jobs accounted for 5 and 16 percent of the work force in those industies. In addition, an estimated 11,100 jobs were required in the state to manufacture products used by other establishments in the United States as inputs for manufactures that were ultimately exported. Thus, an estimated 24,800 jobs in Louisiana were directly or indirectly dependent on exports of manufactured goods. This was 11.9 percent of all manufacturing employment in the state. Over three-fourths of the jobs dependent on manu- factured exports were concentrated in the chemi- cals, nonelectric machinery, and paper products industries. These jobs accounted for one out of four jobs in the chemicals industry and one out of six/seven jobs in the nonelectric machinery and paper prod- ucts industries. An additional, 38,900 jobs were generated in non- manufacturing industries that supply materials and services supporting manufactured exports. Louisi- ana's total employment related to manufactured exports amounted to 63,700. Louisiana's farm employment related to exports in 1982 amounted to 18,000 or about one out of every three farmers. This estimate assumes that the number of farmers dependent on exports corresponds to the ratio of exports to farm sales in the state. Depending on numerous variables, including the character of the products, mechanization, and degree of intensiveness of farming, it may somewhat under- state or overstate the actual number dependent on exports. STATE EXPORT REPORTS This report is one of a series of 50 prepared by the Office of Trade and Industry Information /Trade Information and Analysis, International Trade Administration on exports from the individual states. Data on manufactured and agricultural exports are presented in tabular form for a series of years. In addition, recent information is included on state exports of fish, fish products, and minerals. The statistics on 1981 exports of manufactures by state were taken from Origin of Exports of Manufac- tured Products, 1981 Annual Survey of Manufac- tures, M81 (AS)-5, issued by the Bureau of the Census in May 1983. That publication can be ordered from the Data User Services Division, Customer Services (Publications), Bureau of the Census, Wash- ington, D.C. 20233, or from any U.S. Department of Commerce District Office for $2.75 per copy. Data for earlier years were taken from similar Census reports now out of print. The information on state shares of agricultural exports was taken from various issues of Foreign Agricultural Trade of the United States published by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Special compilations on exports of minerals and fuels by state were provided by the Bureau of the Mines, U.S. Department of Interior, and by the Energy Information Administration, U.S. Department of Energy, and on fish and fishery products by Nation- al Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce. f&rr&So, trad*.
