While concentrating on the impact of the economic expansion of 1972, U.S. Industrial Outlook 1973 also reviews developments since 1967 and projects activity levels in major manufacturing and nonmanufacturing industries for 1973 and 1980. More service-producing industries have been added in this edition. Coverage is extended to automobile services--repair, rental, leasing, parking, and car wash establishments--and property and liability insurance. Life insurance is again included. The still nebulous but nonetheless opportunity-laden growth field of pollution abatement equipment is explored. Ten of the volume's 47 chapters relate to nonmanufacturing industries that provide services as well as markets for manufactured products. Usual narrative and statistical industry-by-industry analyses are featured as well as the appendix ranking industries by projected rate of increase from 1972-73. The 200 manufacturing industries covered in this publication account for about 85 percent of the shipments value of all U.S. producers. Industry statements include discussions on changes in supply and demand, foreign trade, and technology; developments in employment and productivity; capital investment to improve efficiency and competitiveness and combat pollution; and financial conditions, where possible.
