Abstract:

Although it ranks behind West Germany and England in the number of firms operating in the state, Japan’s 44 North Carolina companies account for nearly one-third of the new foreign investment in the state in the last six years. Since 1980, the Japanese have announced the creation of 2,284 jobs in North Carolina. At least 18 of the 44 companies were involved in manufacturing or assembly, the remainder in research and development, sales, service, and distribution.
