Manufacturing industry health
was measured by three variables:
the share of total income earned
by manufacturing employees in
each state, the wage premium
paid to workers relative to
other states, and the share of
manufacturing employment per
capita. Manufacturing includes
the production of both consumer
durable goods (e.g. automobiles,
electronics, and home appliances
that last for years) and non-durable
goods (e.g. clothing, processed
foods, and other goods that are
consumed after use).
Manufacturing makes the grade in most states
