Abstract:

Steady growth in the state's furniture industry has moved North Carolina to first in the nation in furniture employment. Although leading in employment, it ranks lower in average weekly earnings for furniture workers, but pay rates compare favorably with other North Carolina manufacturing industries. Guilford, Catawba, Davidson, and Caldwell are the four counties housing the greatest concentration of furniture plants, with Guilford leading the world as a wood furniture manufacturing center.
