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 more than two times as fast as production in the state. An estimated 19,000 jobs in Alabama were directly related to producing manufactured exports. An additional 19,100 jobs were required to produce materials and parts for incorporation in other products exported from the 50 states. Thus about 38,100 jobs in Alabama were dependent on exports of manufactured goods — about one of every nine manufacturing jobs in the state. Manufactured exports doubled Alabama's exports of manufactures reached $1.9 billion in 1981, 116 percent above the 1977 level. The state ranked 24th among the 50 states as an exporter of those goods, and its exports accounted for 1 percent of the nation's exports of manufac- tures. Export growth outpaced the 45 percent increase in Alabama's production of manufactures from 1977 to 1981. Chemicals, electric and electronic equipment, and food products were the most important manufac- tured exports from Alabama. From these three indus- tries alone sales to foreign countries were valued at $959 million, about half of the state's total exports. In addition, a wide variety of goods valued in the $100 million range were shipped overseas, includ- ing nonelectric machinery, primary metals, paper, and fabricated metals. Exports of chemicals were valued at $417 million in 1981. The 88 percent growth in chemical ship- ments since 1977 represented a strong advance. Because exports grew faster than production, the export share was 19 percent. These exports required an estimated 1,900 jobs, 13 percent of the workers employed in this Alabama industry. Electric and electronic equipment exports of $294 million were more than 3.5 times the 1977 level. Exports were 22 percent of the state's production in 1981 and provided employment for 3,600 workers. Exports of manufactured food products in 1981 were up 77 percent from that in 1977. The state ranked 14th nationally in exports of these products. The Census Bureau has estimated that the full impact of U.S. exports on Alabama's manufactur- ing activity was 13.1 percent rather than the 6.3 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, 21 percent — or $1 out of every $5 — was due to export-related shipments. Soybeans leading agricultural export Alabama's share of U.S. agricultural exports in FY 1982, including some manufactures of farm origin, totaled an estimated $481 million, up 45 percent from the FY 1977 value. Soybean sales grew to $196 million, more than triple those of cotton, which traditionally had been the leading export crop. The state ranked second after Georgia in peanut ship- ments valued at $37 million. Its $48 million of poultry sales made the state the fourth largest exporter nationally. Other increased exports included wheat and flour. The sharp growth in exports of agricultural prod- ucts from FY 1977 to FY 1982 accounted for 21 percent of the rise in farm sales, and added substan- tially to the income of Alabama farmers. The export contribution to each dollar of the state's cash receipts from farm marketings was 22 cents. Exported coal Coal accounted for most of Alabama's mineral exports. Shipments were valued at $347 million in (continued on back cover) 5. Depository Copy 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.

Such inputs are included in domestic production industry totals. continued from page I 1981. Small amounts of iron and steel scrap, ferro- silicon and clay were also shipped abroad in 1981. Exported fishery products Alabama's exports of fishery products totaled $5.7 million in 1981 compared with estimated sales of $6.3 million in 1977. The state placed fourth nationally as an exporter of fresh and frozen shrimp, with shipments abroad amounting to $4.4 million. About $1 million of other fresh and frozen fishery products also were exported. Small amounts of shells contin- ued to be shipped abroad. Export employment grows Alabama's $1.9 billion worth of manufactured exports provided direct employment for an estimated 19,000 workers in 1981. Those jobs constituted 5.5 percent of the total manufacturing employment in the state. From 1977 to 1981 the number of workers engaged in the production of manufactures rose by only one percent, while employment directly related to exports increased 74 percent. Half of these jobs were in four major industries — electric/electronic equipment, food products, nonelectric machinery, and chemicals — each accounting for 2,000 or more workers. These jobs contributed 8 to 19 percent of the work force in those industries. In addition, an estimated 19,100 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 38,100 jobs in Alabama were directly or indirectly dependent on exports of manufactured goods. These jobs accounted for 11.0 percent of all manufacturing employment in the state. Over two-fifths of the jobs dependent on manu- factured exports were concentrated in the primary metals, electric and electronic equipment, chemi- cals, and textile mill products industries. These jobs accounted for one out of two jobs in the chemicals industry, one out of five jobs in the electric/electronic equipment industry, and one out of six/ten jobs in the primary metals and textile products industries. An additional 33,000 jobs were generated in non- manufacturing industries that supply materials and services supporting manufactured exports. Alabama's total employment related to manufactured exports amounted to 71,100 jobs. It is estimated that Alabama's farm employment related to exports in 1982 amounted to about one out of every five 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 product, mechanization, and degree of intensiveness of farming, it may some- what understate 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.
