Manufacturing in the United States, by States
Table below presents basic data on manufacturing in the United States for 1947, latest offi-
cial census taken in 1948, with some comparative statistics for 1939, the next preceding census.
Although there has been a tendency toward decentralization of industry, the census of 1947
showed a relatively high state of concentration. Six states produced more than half the value
of manufactures-New York, Pennsylvania, Illinois. Ohio, Michigan and New Jersey. They had
a total of $39,000,000,000 of "value added by manufacture" out of a total of $74,364,000,000.
STexas, with $1,716,000,000 of "value added by manufacture" had only 2.3 per cent of the
net value of the national manufacturing product during 1947. In rank, Texas was twelfth among
the states on basis of "value added by manufacturing." The figures vary slightly from those
used in some other tables in this chapter because of census revisions.

*Average for year. tTotal. $Value added by manufacture is computed by subtracting cost of
materials and supplies from value of shipments.
In comparisons between states or localities, there is a tendency to emphasize "value added" as
against "total value" which has been generally used in the past. "Total value" contains much dupli-
cation of value where a product goes through a series of manufacturing processes, whereas "value
added" is the net value contributed by the manufacturing processes.
