Why Export?
Over 95% of the world’s customers are located beyond U.S. borders.
Exporters realize higher employment growth than non-exporters.
Most companies that export have an easier time riding out fluctuations in the U.S. economy and are more likely to stay in business.
Export wages are typically 13-18% higher than non-export wages.
