MURFREESBORO, Tenn. (WMOT) -- Tennessee’s export sector has a mid-state economist worried, in spite of solid growth in recent quarters.
Middle Tennessee State University’s Dr. Steven Livingston specializes in the study of international trade. He says Tennessee exports are growing by a healthy seven or eight percent per quarter, but he also says that growth is increasingly dependent on a shrinking number of products headed to a shrinking number of countries.
