The Potential for High Technology Manufacturing in Nonmetropolitan Areas [electronic resource] / David L. Barkley and Others.
This paper asks whether manufacturers of high technology are locating production facilities in nonmetropolitan areas and, if so, which industries and geographical areas are affected. It identifies high-technology manufacturers and estimates national employment trends for the sector from 1975 to 1982...

| 520 | |a This paper asks whether manufacturers of high technology are locating production facilities in nonmetropolitan areas and, if so, which industries and geographical areas are affected. It identifies high-technology manufacturers and estimates national employment trends for the sector from 1975 to 1982. National and regional employment data for specific subsets of the high-tech sector are analyzed and high-tech development in the rural West is reviewed, focusing on the major high-tech industries and employment in 11 Western states. The document suggests that high-tech manufacturing helped decentralize national employment from 1975 to 1982. Rural employment in the sector increased, indicating an urban-to-rural shift. The different geographical regions did not equally share new high-tech employment. Rural areas of New England, Pacific, Mountain, and West South Central states saw benefits. The Mid-Atlantic and East North Central states showed a decline. New England and the Pacific states attracted more innovative high-tech manufacturers. Mature, high-tech industries are shifting employment to rural counties with low land and labor costs. Industries in growth and innovative stages remain close to metropolitan areas with skilled labor and specialized inputs. The high-tech industries are a potential source of rural employment. However, it is suggested that communities not concentrate their efforts on the sector. Mature firms are not likely to generate community development impact due to their limited employment and slow growth. (TES) | ||
