Abstract

Employment and earnings in South Carolina's forest products industry, like those of most Southern States, grew significantly between 1970 and 1980. The forest products industry accounted for a larger share of the State's economic base in 1980 than in 1970. Moreover, during this period, the State increased its share of the Nation's forest products industry employment and earnings. Pulp and allied products had the highest productivity, but lumber and wood products experienced the largest increase in productivity between 1972 and 1977.
