Abstract:

Connecticut executives moved several of their manufacturing operations to the south in the last five years. Controversy surrounds the movement of industry to the south, particularly in light of the threat of economic stagnation due to political and education problems brought about by integration. Connecticut companies claim new plant and freight costs are cheaper in the South, taxes and labor costs are lower, and communities are friendlier, resulting in an increased profit for the relocated firms.
