This report paints a statistical portrait of Appalachia’s manufacturing sector, focusing on the rate of entry and exit of new and old establishments, the pay and productivity characteristics of plants in Appalachia, the role of branch plants in the Region, and whether there is significant variation in these measures within Appalachia. The picture is mixed: Manufacturing in Appalachia, relative to the rest of the country, looks much the same in 1992 as it did in 1967–lower wage, lower productivity, and still highly reliant on branch plants.
