Resumen
Descripción
In the Northeast, the principal market expansion
for its manufactured products is likely
to come from outside. Sales to export markets
can create jobs and could potentially exacerbate
the region's dependence on imported energy. 'Ibis
analysis demonstrates that 26% of the Northeast's
manufacturing employment is in sectors which have
experienced significant expansion in exports in
recent years. For most of the export sectors,
the employment contribution is above the average
for domestically-oriented industries, and the
energy requirement is below the average. By
focusing export promotion policies on these sectors,
employment objectives need not conflict
with energy conservation objectives.
