Abstract

Employment and earnings in Virginia's forest products industry, like those of most Southern States, increased between 1970 and 1980. Furthermore, Virginia's share of the Nation's forest products employment and earnings increased during this period. In 1980, the wood furniture segment accounted for the largest share of the industry's employment, but paper and allied products accounted for the largest share of earnings. In 1977, pulp and allied products had higher productivity than either lumber and wood products or wood furniture.
