If there were only one industry and occupation in which people could work, then free trade would indeed force American wages close to Japanese levels

So in each industry that we compete with cheap labor our wages are forced down huh? So what industries do not compete with cheap labor?

If America concentrates its employment where it does best, there is no reason why American wages cannot remain far above Japanese wages for a long time—even though the two nations trade freely
