Taken together, the growth of southern California and the expansion of cities in the Deep South created a new industrial region, the Sun Belt.

Explanation:

The Sun Belt is a region of the United States that extends from the Atlantic coast of the Southeast to the Pacific coast of the Southwest. This includes the states located approximately between parallels 37 and 38.

Arizona, California, Florida, Nevada, New Mexico, Texas, Georgia, and South Carolina are usually considered part of the Sun Belt; Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama can also be included.

From the second half of the twentieth century, American industry, in search of cost reduction (essentially lower wages), migrated towards the south of the country, to the states of Texas and California, that with lower salaries and had large universities that allowed the formation of specialized technicians. High-tech companies such as Texas Instruments, Hewlett-Packard, among others, began or moved their activities to the sunny south of the United States. The great development of technology companies in Silicon Valley has consolidated this trend. The Sun Belt benefited from the Midwest industrial crisis that unleashed in 2008, as many industries sought lower taxes, thus moving south.
