According to a report
released by the Economic Policy Institute, Ohio lost 112,500 jobs due to trade
with Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) countries. This job loss supposedly results from the United States’ trade deficit with members of the agreement. TPP
opponents are calling in part for enhanced currency manipulation safeguards in
the TPP; they attribute currency manipulation to the United States’ increasing trade
deficit. However, supporters, including the Obama Administration, continue to
defend the TPP, arguing the findings are questionable. These data critics say
that analysts are ignoring jobs that are supported by imports, leading to
skewed results.
