Abstract
Manufacturing in the United States and in South Carolina is an industry in transition. Rapid advancement in engineering, technology, and processes has caused manufacturing to evolve from an industry requiring intensive labor inputs to one that is increasingly capital-intensive. South Carolina’s manufacturing industry experienced a 20% decline in employment yet a 2% gain in output from 2001 to 2007. South Carolina’s future manufacturing growth will continue the evolution toward capital intensiveness driven by technological progress. Consequently, high-skilled workers in knowledge-driven occupations will be in ever-increasing demand.
