Defense orders reshape Southern industry and jobs
Contracts drawn by shipyards and defense centers push Virginia and North Carolina toward major wartime output while reducing agricultural jobs. Norfolk and Newport News alone secure 722 million dollars in 1940 41 ship orders. North Carolina adds textile capacity to house defense demand though new plants remain few, with Wilmington shipyard projecting 57.5 million dollars in orders and 5000 workers. Louisiana supports peacetime use in new industry through state job security programs while Alabama officials worry defense may slow permanent industrial growth.
