Trade and American Jobs: The Impact of Trade on U.S. and State-Level Employment Update (2014)

U.S.  trade  continues  to  expand,  and  with  it,  U.S.  employment.    Today,  nearly  40  million   U.S.  jobs  depend  on  trade.    This  means  that  more  than  one  in  every  five  U.S.  jobs  is   linked  to  exports  and  imports  of  goods  and  services.    Nearly  three  times  as  many  jobs   were  supported  by  trade  in  2013  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. Updated from past research and prepared for the Business Roundtable.

Renewed interest in “Made in America” begs the question: is anything still “Made in America”? This study answers that question with a resounding “Yes!” if one recognizes that what it means to be made in America is different in today’s world of global supply chains than it was in the 1950s and ’60s, before those supply chains permeated the production of nearly every good or service.  We need to rethink what it means to be “Made in America.”
