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 much faster than production. An estimated 26,300 jobs in Minnesota were directly related to producing manufactured exports in 1981. About 20,100 additional jobs were required to produce materials and parts for incorporation in products exported from the 50 states. Thus, 46,400 jobs in Minnesota were dependent on exports of manufactured goods — about one of every eight manufacturing jobs in the state. Minnesota was the fifth largest U.S. exporter of agricultural products, with exports valued at $1.9 billion in FY 1982, more than double the FY 1977 value. About $1 of every $3 in Minnesota's farm sales came from exports. Manufactured exports rose Minnesota's exports of manufactured goods totaled $2.7 billion in 1981, up 70 percent from the 1977 value. The state ranked 20th nationally in sales of these products to foreign countries. Its exports accounted for 2 percent of the U.S. total. Exports from Minnesota firms rose much faster than the 54 percent increase in the state's total growth in manu- facturing output during 1977 to 1981. Nonelectric machinery, manufactured food, in- struments, fabricated metal products, and electric and electronic equipment were Minnesota's major exports, representing more than four-fifths of the 1981 total. In addition, overseas sales of the chemi- cals, stone/clay/glass, paper, and rubber/plastic industries ranged from $42 million to $82 million. Nonelectric machinery was the leading manufac- tured export from the state. Valued at $1.4 billion, these foreign sales accounted for 20.7 percent of the industry's production and placed Minnesota as the 10th largest exporter of these goods in the nation. About one-sixth of the work force in this industry, the state's largest employer for the production of manufactures, was directly related to exports. Exports generated about 13,200 jobs. Exports of manufactured food, which included meat and grain mill products, tripled from 1977 to 1981 to $286 million. The state ranked 14th in the nation as an exporter of this industry's products. An estimated 900 jobs were directly related to overseas shipments. The value of instruments exports was $277 mil- lion in 1981, almost one and a half times the 1977 level. Growing nearly as fast as output, these increased exports were 17 percent of this industry's expan- sion. Exports generated 3,800 jobs, or one-sixth of this industry's total employment in the state. Fabricated metals exports rose a sharp one and two-third times the 1977 level to a 1981 value of $178 million. Expanding more than twice as fast as production, these additional overseas sales were one- eighth of this industry's growth. About 2,800 jobs were related to these exports, one-twelfth of the industry work force. Exports of electric and electronic equipment were $174 million in 1981. Growing about the same rate as production, exports contributed about 9 percent of this industry's output. The 2,600 jobs related directly to exports were nearly one-tenth of the total labor force in this industry. The Census Bureau has estimated that the full impact of U.S. exports on Minnesota's manufactur- ing activity was 11.6 percent rather than the 7.7 percent attributable to direct exports as shown in table 3. Estimates including supporting shipments of materials and parts of incorporation in products exported from 50 states are shown in tables 6 to 8. Thus, of the expanded manufacturing output gen- fa united i- 1 hack i 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.

State fifth in agricultural exports Minnesota ranked fifth in the nation in exports of agricultural products, including some manufactures of farm origin. These shipments totaled an estimated $1.9 billion in FY 1982, more than double the FY 1977 level. Feed grains, soybeans, wheat and flour comprised about four-fifths of the total value. Other significant export commodities were sunflower seeds and oils, dairy products, vegetables, and meats. Min- nesota was the second leading exporter of sunflower seeds and oils after North Dakota, and the third leading exporter of dairy products. The strong growth in agricultural exports from FY 1977 to FY 1982 accounted for 38 percent of the rise in farm sales and added substantially to the income of Minnesota farmers. In this period, the export contribution to each dollar of the state's farm sales increased from 24 to 29 cents. Leading iron ore exporter Minnesota exported $112 million of iron ore in 1981 up strongly from $27 million in 1977. This expansion reflects (1) larger production capacity and (2) higher prices. The state was the second leading exporter of this product in 1981, exceeded only by Michigan. The state also exported chromite valued at $2.6 million. Export-related employment significant Minnesota's $2.7 billion worth of manufactured exports provided direct employment for an estimated 26,300 workers in 1981. Those jobs constituted 7.1 percent of the state's direct employment in manu- facturing. From 1977 to 1981 the number of work- ers engaged in the production of manufactures advanced while employment directly related to exports rose by 25 percent. Half of these workers were con- centrated in the nonelectric machinery industry dis- cussed above. These jobs accounted for 17 percent of the work force in that industry. In addition, an estimated 20,100 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 46,400 jobs in Minnesota were directly or indirectly dependent on exports of manufactured goods. This was 12.4 percent of all manufacturing employment in the state. Two-thirds of the jobs dependent on manufac- tured exports were concentrated in the nonelectric machinery, fabricated metals, instruments, and elec- tric and electronic equipment industries. These jobs accounted for one out of five jobs in the nonelectric machinery and instruments industries, and one out of seven/eight jobs in the electric/electronic equip- ment and fabricated metals industries. An additional 44,500 jobs were generated in non- manufacturing industries that supply materials and services supporting manufactured exports. Minne- sota's total employment related to manufactured exports amounted to 90,900 jobs. It is estimated that Minnesota's farm employment related to exports in 1982 amounted to about 62,900 or almost one out of every three farmers. This esti- mate assumes that the number of farmers depen- dent 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 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.
