14 A WEDNESDAY. AUGUST 8. 1982 MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON Southwest Portion Of Nation Shows High Growth Rate Eugene - Economic growth in the Western states since World War II has topped the national average by some $10.83 billion dollars, due mainly to increased payrolls in specialized manufacturing industries, Dr. Paul B. Simp son, professor of economics at the University of Oregon, said recently. He spoke before a meeting of the Western Farm Econom ics association at the Univer sity of Nevada in Reno. Title of his speech was "Factors in the Post-War Growth of the West." In addition, "the actual in crease in personal incomes in the west is 20 per cent above what it would have been if the national rate of growth had been achieved," the econ omist said. Southern Growth However, this rapid growth has occurred only in the southern part of the west, Dr. Simpson pointed out, with Arizona and Nevada showing the largest growth rates and California, Colorado and Utah showing "growth rales sub stantially above the nation al average." Other western states have failed to keep pace with the national aver age in growth, he said. Manufacturing payrolls, par ticularly in electrical rmicnin- ery, aircraft, and ordnance. have soared $3.76 billion above the national average, he observed. These products are mainly for export out of the region, as is much of the farm production which has risen slightly above the na tional average, notably In truck crops and wheat, he said. "For any region of moder ate size , . . whether a nation or part of a nation, the ex port basis is a key factor, Dr. Simpson said, in explain ing the importance of this in crease in export products. Internal expansion within the region, particularly in building, services, and other items needed to support the increase in manufacturing, ac counts for most of the rest of the economic growth record ed since the war, Dr. Simp son observed. "The west was advanta-j comes derived from farm geously situated because it sources than aoes me nauon harj a less-than-average repre sentation of agriculture and manufacturing during a peri od when these were declin ing relatively and because- it had an above - average repre sentation of federal payrolls when these were increasing," Dr. Simpson said, in discuss ing national trends that af fected western growth. Non-Agricultural West "It was surprising to me to learn that the west was not an agricultural region," he ob served. "Indeed, it is, outside of California, but California has a small percentage of in- and as California goes, so goes the west, in this regard at least." In discussing the conditions in individual states, Dr. Simp son pointed out that Oregon "incomes have shrunk because the wood products industries arc not growing as rapidly as other industries. Paper is an exception, but this has not been sufficient" to offset the general decline. The state of Washington had "an exceptionally high stake in the federal payrolls," until "the government saw fit to reduce its payrolls in this area," he said. At the same time, however, the govern m e n t encouraged aircraft manufacture in Washington which nearly offset the with drawal of federal payrolls. The same slump in wood products industries that af fected Oregon has tipped the overall economic balance in Washington to the down side, he pointed out. In the Rocky Mountain states, the importance of ag riculture has tended to con tract incomes, although in Colorado and Utah the growth of manufacturing and federal payrolls has more than off set the agricultural decline. The California and Arizona booms are caused by the up surge in aircraft, missile and electrical machinery manufacture. ! Nurse Learns Son Prolonged Sunshine New York-iUPD-The female !
