EXPORTS... 
 
 . . . their importance to 
 the United States economy 
 
 Exports play an important role in our economy 
 and in the increasingly interdependent world econ- 
 omy. 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.

 Highlights 
 
 Nebraska's exports of manufactures totaled $945 million in 1981, almost triple the 1977 
 level. They rose two and a half times as fast as production. 
 
 An estimated 6,000 jobs in Nebraska were directly related to producing manufactured 
 exports in 1981. About 3,500 additional jobs were required to produce materials and 
 parts for incorporation in products exported from the 50 states. Thus 9,500 jobs 
 in Nebraska were dependent on exports of manufactured goods — about one of 
 every ten manufacturing jobs in the state. 
 
 Nebraska's share of U.S. agricultural exports totaled $1.8 billion in FY 1982, almost twice 
 the FY 1977 value. The state was the third leading U.S. exporter of feed grains. In 
 Nebraska's farm sales, $1 of every $4 came from exports. 
 
 Manufactured exports soared 
 
 Nebraska's exports of manufactures totaled $945 
 million in 1981, an increase of 188 percent since 
 1977. The state ranked 35th nationally in sales of 
 those products to foreign countries. Exports from 
 Nebraska firms rose much faster than the 77 percent 
 increase in the state's manufacturing production 
 from 1977 to 1981. 
 
 Food products and nonelectric machinery were 
 two-thirds of Nebraska's exports of manufactures. 
 In addition, substantial amounts of primary metals, 
 transportation equipment, electric and electronic 
 equipment, fabricated metal products, instruments, 
 and chemicals were shipped abroad. 
 
 Foreign sales of food products increased two and 
 two-third times from 1977 to 1981. Valued at $383 
 million, these shipments placed Nebraska as the 9th 
 largest state exporter of these goods in 1981. This 
 industry provided 800 jobs directly related to exports. 
 
 The state sold abroad $67 million worth of non- 
 electric machinery products, two and a half times 
 the 1977 amount. Output rose 46 percent from 1977 
 to 1981. The growth in exports was 39 percent of 
 that increased production. These exports generated 
 an estimated 2,300 jobs for Nebraska workers. 
 
 The Census Burean has estimated that the full 
 impact of U.S. exports on Nebraska's manufactur- 
 ing activity was 9.5 percent rather than the 6.1 
 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, 13 percent — or $] 
 of $8 — was due to export-related shipments.

 Feed grains leading farm export 
 
 Nebraska's share of U.S. agricultural exports in 
 FY 1982, which included some manufactures of 
 farm origin, totaled an estimated $1,808 million, an 
 83 percent increase from the FY 1977 level. Feed 
 grain sales of $828 million accounted for 46 percent 
 of the total. Soybeans which were the second largest 
 export increased to $332 million, three and one half 
 times the FY 1977 level. Nebraska also exported 
 $310 million of wheat and flour. Other commodities 
 exported in substantial value were vegetable prod- 
 ucts, live animals and meat, and hides and skins. 
 
 The growth in exports in agricultural products 
 from FY 1977 to FY 1982 accounted for 26 percent 
 of the rise in farm sales and added substantially to 
 the income of Nebraska farmers. In FY 1982 the 
 export contribution to each dollar of the state's 
 farm sales was 26 cents. 
 
 Export employment significant 
 
 Nebraska's $945 million worth of manufactured 
 exports provided total employment for an estimated 
 6,000 workers in 1981. Those jobs constituted 6.3 
 percent of direct employment in manufacturing in 
 the state. In 1977 the portion was only 3.6 percent, 
 or 3,200 jobs. From 1977 to 1981, the number of 
 workers engaged in the production of manufactures 
 rose slightly, but employment directly related to 
 exports jumped by four-fifths. About 52 percent of 
 these workers were employed in the food products

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.

TABLE 7 
 
 Nebraska Growth 
 in Export-Related 
 Manufactures 
 
 The 1 56 percent growth in the value 
 of export-related manufactures from 
 1977 to 1981 was much faster than 
 the rate of expansion in production. 
 
 About two-thirds of the increase in 
 primary metals production and 
 two-fifths the rise in nonelectric 
 machinery output was generated by 
 growth in export-related 
 manufactures.

 Note: Percentages shown for each industry indicate the total relative impact of exports on the domestic economy, including direct 
 exports and goods shipped from domestic establishments for use as inputs in manufactured products exported from other 
 establishments. Such inputs are included in domestic production industry totals.

 and nonelectric machinery industries. These jobs 
 accounted for 3 and 17 percent of the work force in 
 those industries, respectively. 
 
 In addition, an estimated 3,500 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 9,500 jobs in Nebraska were directly 
 or indirectly dependent on exports of manufactured 
 goods. These jobs represented 10 percent of all manu- 
 facturing employment in the state. 
 
 Over one-half of the jobs dependent on manufac- 
 tured exports were concentrated in the nonelectric 
 machinery, food products, and electric/electronic 
 equipment industries. These jobs accounted for one 
 out of five jobs in the nonelectric machinery indus- 
 try and one out of eight/eighteen jobs in the 
 
 electric/electronic equipment and food products 
 industries. 
 
 An additional 14,900 jobs were generated in non- 
 manufacturing industries that supply materials and 
 services supporting manufactured exports. Nebras- 
 ka's total employment related to exports amounted 
 to 24,400. 
 
 It is estimated that Nebraska's farm employment 
 related to exports in 1982 amounted to 27,200, or 
 about one out of every four 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, mechaniza- 
 tion, and degree of intensiveness of farming, it may 
 somewhat 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.
