Note: Export-related employment data shown do not include manufacturing and non-manufacturing jobs involved in the export of non-manufactured goods, such as farm products, minerals, and services sold to foreign buyers. Indirect exports exclude imported items. The complete 2006 export-related employment series is available on our Export Related Jobs pages.

to states based on transportation origin, i.e., the state from which
goods began their journey to the port (or other point) of exit from
the United States. The transportation origin of exports is not always
the same as the location where the goods were produced. Consequently,
conclusions about "export production" in a state should not
be made solely on the basis of the Origin of Movement state export figures. |

origin of exports is not always the same as the location where the goods
were produced. Consequently, conclusions about "export production"
