The Mexico Institute at the Wilson Center has released a report incorporating results from Trade Partnership research about the impact of U.S. trade with Mexico on U.S. jobs. The study explores the bilateral economic relationship in detail to understand its nature and its impact on the United States. The report also uses The Trade Partnership’s CDxports and CDxjobs data to show exports to Mexico from each state and congressional district. The study concludes that the economic relationship with Mexico strengthens the competitiveness of American firms, creates jobs in the United States, and generates savings for the average American family.

The Trade Partnership completed for the National Retail Federation a study that identifies key opportunities for retailers and U.S. consumers under the TPP. It notes that the TPP will affect retailers and their customers by getting rid of unnecessary and sometimes high costs of doing business with and in TPP countries, providing assurance that foreign suppliers produce goods that measure up to U.S. consumer protection, labor and environmental standards, and helping to grow the U.S. economy in general. The study also highlights key chapters of the TPP that will benefit retailers and their consumers. These include chapters dealing with import taxes (tariffs); trade facilitation; E-commerce; cross-border data flows; intellectual property rights protection; investment protection; food safety and labor and environment protection.

Trade Partnership Worldwide, LLC, updated its periodic estimate of the number of U.S. jobs that depend on trade. We found that U.S. exports and imports of goods and services supported 41 million U.S. jobs in 2014. This means that more than one in every five U.S. jobs is linked to trade. Nearly three times as many jobs were supported by trade in 2014 as in 1992 – before the accelerated wave of trade liberalization that began with the implementation of the North American Free Trade Agreement in 1994 – when our earlier research found that trade supported 14.5 million jobs, or one in every ten U.S. jobs. Prepared for the Business Roundtable.
The Trade Partnership used both new and existing research to create state-by-state reports on the importance of trade to American retailers and families. Each study highlights retail’s importance to the state economy and the impact of trade on retail jobs, both generally and with prospective FTA partners. The studies also show how high tariffs on everyday products like clothing, shoes, and food serve as a hidden tax on families.
