Article Abstract:

Those US manufacturing industries that use more higher skilled American workers are found to have higher levels of exports and lower levels of imports, in a study based on statistics from 1987 for 255 industries (identified by four-digit SIC classifications). Import levels were found to be inversely proportional to labor efficiency and productivity, while export levels were directly related to the variables.
