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.
