In the 1992 Census of Manufactures, Industry 2391, Curtains and Draperies, had employment of 21.8 thousand. The employment figure was 20 percent below the 27.1 thousand reported in 1987. The leading States in employment in 1992 were North Carolina, Massachusetts, Texas, and Georgia, accounting for approximately 50 percent of the industry's employment. This represents a shift from 1987 when North Carolina, California, Massachusetts, and New York accounted for approximately 49 percent of the industry's employment.

Establishments in virtually all industries ship secondary products as well as products primary to the industry in which they are classified and have some miscellaneous receipts, such as resales and contract receipts. Industry 2391 shipped $1.0 billion of curtains and draperies products considered primary to the industry, $86.1 million of secondary products, and had $153.5 million of miscellaneous receipts, resales, and contract work. Thus, the ratio of primary products to the total of both secondary and primary products shipped by establishments in this industry was 92 percent (specialization ratio). In 1987, the specialization ratio was 94 percent. Establishments in this industry also accounted for 88 percent of products considered primary to the industry no matter where they were actually produced (coverage ratio).
