Energy and labor use by rural manufacturing industries. Rural development research report

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5683589
Energy use was weighed against labor use in 450 manufacturing industries to help judge the effect on jobs of rationing energy during a shortage. In 1975, over one-half of manufacturing energy was used by 32 industries employing less than 5 percent of manufacturing labor. Nonmetro areas, where manufacturing is the largest employer, had over one-third of U.S. employment in industries with a high energy-to-labor ratio, larger than their one-fourth share of all manufacturing employment. Regionally, the South Central and Rocky Mountain States accounted for about one-third of high energy-to-labor employment, but only one-sixth of all manufacturing employment.
