Exporting Jobs

In: Who Needs Jobs?

Abstract

Free international trade is efficient, but don’t imports destroy jobs? It is not easy to imagine how international trade could simultaneously benefit most people and destroy jobs that these very people want in order to buy goods and services. Yet, some people apparently think that imports do destroy jobs. Al Franken, a US senator from Minnesota, argues that reducing the sugar quotas and tariffs would destroy American jobs.1 Many seem to believe that importing computers and electronic gadgetry from China has the same results. Numerous other examples of this error could be given.
