<h4 style="text-align: center;" class=""><span style="font-size: 12px;" class=""><i class="">Trade Deficit Growth Continues to Prevent Recovery, Feeds Widening Economic Inequality</i></span></h4><p class=""><span style="font-family: Arial;" class=""><span style="font-size: small;" class=""><b class="">Washington, D.C. - </b>The ballooning trade deficit with China cost 3.4 million American jobs between 2001 and 2017, according to a </span></span><a href="http://wfc2.wiredforchange.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=z89Rbabae7ncDbjlIT%2BuVTkd%2FC9MMDjJ" class=""><span style="font-family: Arial;" class=""><span style="font-size: small;" class="">new report</span></span></a><span style="font-family: Arial;" class=""><span style="font-size: small;" class=""> released today. </span></span></p>
<div class=""><span style="font-family: Arial;" class=""><span style="font-size: small;" class="">Massive job losses caused by trade with China since 2001 overwhelmingly have impacted the manufacturing sector, the Economic Policy Institute finds. The growing deficit almost entirely explains why manufacturing employment has not fully recovered along with the rest of the economy since the Great Recession. </span></span></div>
<div class=""><span style="font-family: Arial;" class=""><span style="font-size: small;" class=""><br class="">
</span></span></div>
<div class=""><span style="font-family: Arial;" class=""><span style="font-size: small;" class="">“The growing trade deficit with China affects different regions in different ways,” <b class="">write the authors of the report.</b> “Some regions are devastated by layoffs and factory closings, while others are surviving but not growing the way they could be if new factories were opening and existing plants were hiring more workers. This slowdown in manufacturing job generation also is contributing to stagnating wages and incomes of typical workers and widening inequality.”</span></span></div>

</span></span></div>
<div class=""><span style="font-family: Arial;" class=""><span style="font-size: small;" class=""><b class="">Alliance for American Manufacturing President Scott Paul said: </b></span></span></div>
<div style="margin-left: 40px;" class=""><span style="font-family: Arial;" class=""><span style="font-size: small;" class="">“China’s cheating on trade has real consequences. As this report shows, millions of hard-working Americans have been sidelined by China’s unfair trade practices, and also by our government’s unwillingness to respond. Americans are expecting leaders, especially candidates from both parties in the upcoming midterm elections, to do something to finally address this massive job loss and work to stabilize our factory communities. Without assertive action, our out-of-control trade deficit will continue to rob Americans of job opportunities and make the American Dream a distant fantasy.”</span></span></div>

<div class=""><span style="font-family: Arial;" class=""><span style="font-size: small;" class=""><b class="">U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio) said:</b></span></span></div>
<div style="margin-left: 40px;" class=""><span style="font-family: Arial;" class=""><span style="font-size: small;" class="">“Our manufacturing industry lifts families up with good wages, good benefits, and opportunities for career advancement. Our workers can compete with anyone—but they need a level playing field. That’s why trade enforcement against countries like China is critical to preventing more layoffs and preventing American jobs from being sent overseas. I’ll continue to work across the aisle to hold China accountable for its cheating that has shuttered factories across Ohio and around the country, so we can finally have a trade policy that puts American manufacturers and American workers first.”</span></span></div>

<div class=""><span style="font-family: Arial;" class=""><span style="font-size: small;" class=""><b class="">U.S. Rep. Robert Aderholt (R-Ala.-04) said:</b></span></span></div>
<div style="margin-left: 40px;" class=""><span style="font-family: Arial;" class=""><span style="font-size: small;" class="">“China is and has been a bad actor when it comes to trade deficits. Simply put, their markets should be as open to our products as our markets are to theirs. It is past time that the United States stand strong against China’s unfair trade practices.”</span></span></div>
<div class=""><span style="font-family: Arial;" class=""><span style="font-size: small;" class=""><br class="">
</span></span></div>
<div class=""><span style="font-family: Arial;" class=""><span style="font-size: small;" class="">The trade deficit-related job losses are affecting communities across the country and are felt in industries in which the United States long has demonstrated a competitive advantage. By eliminating the trade deficit with China, the United States could create millions of good-paying jobs in manufacturing and manufacturing-related fields.</span></span></div>
<div class=""><span style="font-family: Arial;" class=""><span style="font-size: small;" class=""><br class="">
</span></span></div>
<div class=""><span style="font-family: Arial;" class=""><span style="font-size: small;" class="">The computer and electronic parts industry experienced the most dramatic growth in terms of the trade deficit, leading to the displacement or loss of more than 1.2 million jobs. The hardest-hit congressional districts are in Arizona, California, Illinois, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New York, Oregon and Texas.</span></span></div>
<div class=""><span style="font-family: Arial;" class=""><span style="font-size: small;" class=""><br class="">
</span></span></div>
<div class=""><span style="font-family: Arial;" class=""><span style="font-size: small;" class="">The widening trade deficit even has slashed the wages of workers without college degrees in sectors outside of manufacturing. Workers directly impacted by the trade deficit have lost $37 billion per year in wages from 2001 to 2011. The wages of all non-college graduates dropped $180 billion per year because of the growing competition with imports from China and other low-wage countries. Companies have redistributed these lost wages to workers at the top of the income distribution, exasperating our nation’s inequality crisis.</span></span></div>
<div class=""><span style="font-family: Arial;" class=""><span style="font-size: small;" class=""><br class="">
</span></span></div>
<div class=""><span style="font-family: Arial;" class=""><span style="font-size: small;" class="">The free market is not responsible for China’s large and growing trade surpluses with the United States and the world. Instead, China has crafted its growth through dishonest policies that subsidize and dump a vast number of exports, pirate software and technology from foreign companies, manipulate its currency and invest in excessive overproduction through state-owned enterprises.</span></span></div>
<div class=""><span style="font-family: Arial;" class=""><span style="font-size: small;" class=""><br class="">
</span></span></div>
<div class=""><span style="font-family: Arial;" class=""><span style="font-size: small;" class="">Americans must pressure Congress and the White House to continue to respond swiftly and efficiently to the growing trade deficit in order to reverse the catastrophic impact it is having on the U.S. economy and U.S. workers. Washington must hold China accountable by enhancing the enforcement of fair trade laws and treaty obligations, in addition to implementing better systems to identify and respond to import surges.</span></span></div>

We can no longer allow foreign subsidized poor-quality products to flood our markets and undermine American businesses. The fact is, American workers produce the best products in the world – and when given a level playing field, they win almost every time. But they can’t be expected to compete with one hand tied behind their backs because of massive trade deficits and unfair trade practices by trade cheater nations like China.
