I/ Products with "very high" labor Intensities are those where the factor proportions ratio Is at least 40 points below the avera#- for all United States manufacturing. Products with "high" labor intensities are those whose factor proportlons ratios fall between 0.60 and 0.74, while the "moderately" labor intensive products have factor proportions ratios between 0.75 and 0.90. Appendix Table 6 lists the four-digit SIC products that fail in these categories.
