Abstract

Rural firms garnered about 10 percent of all foreign investment in U.S. manufacturing firms through 1986. About two-thirds of that meant new jobs, since it represented new money coming into an area, rather than a purchase of an existing firm or plant. The South benefited in a big way from overseas investors, netting 44 percent of the rural total.
