CLEVELAND, Ohio – Ohio lost 112,500 jobs in 2015 resulting from the United States' trade deficit with countries that are part of the Trans-Pacific Partnership agreement, according to an analysis by the Economic Policy Institute.
That places Ohio sixth, in terms of the percentage of jobs lost to trade with TPP countries, among the 50 states and the District of Columbia ranked in the report released Thursday by the liberal Washington, D.C.-based think tank. The lost jobs represent nearly 2.2 percent of employment in Ohio, according to the analysis.
The total number of lost jobs includes those directly and indirectly impacted by the trade deficit with TPP countries. It also includes the number of jobs EPI says would have been created through the multiplier or "respending" effect had trade with those countries been more balanced.
The TPP is a free trade agreement between the United States and 11 partnership countries, including Canada, Mexico, Japan, Singapore and Malaysia. While the countries have reached final agreement on the trade accord, it probably will not go into effect for several months. The agreement must clear several hurdles, including final ratification by Congress.

yes Trump has created THOUSANDS of union jobs here in the US.
You’re being dishonest by trying to say he lends his name to an organization but doesnt benefit from that.
“You’re being dishonest by trying to say he lends”
LOL!!!
Nothing I wrote indicates that in the least. Who is dishonest?
“He also builds lots of hotels. Did you want him to build Trump Hotel Rio De Janeiro in Kansas?”
Sure, I think people should invest in the US. Perhaps you think thats a bad thing. I wouldn’t call it Hotel Rio De Janeiro but thats his choice.
“I have a better question. How much has Trump invested in the U.S. compared to Mr. Cruz or any other candidate?”
I don’t know. I do know Trump has given a lot more money to leftists than Cruz has. He’s also supported unions and illegals far more.
Trump has been a liberal his entire life.
You are.
Why would he let his name be used if he’s not going to benefit?
You’re saying if the project works it was his idea. If it fails than it was just his name.
Thats dishonest.
Wow. Thank God you’re for the other guy.
I don’t know.
More, way more then ALL of them put together x1000. Now you can pretend not to know this. Btw, if you practice at playing stupid, you'll get better and be more convincing.
what percentage of these jobs were union shops????
So 2.2% of all jobs in Ohio have been lost because of some trade agreement that hasn’t gone into effect yet? Anyone else skeptical?
It’s like these are the projections of some anti-TPP group, whose results disagree with the projections of the pro-TPP groups. (There’s a shock.) How many economic models are there? The same as the number of economists.

Thanks for pointing that out. Checked the article and found what is below. Ohio is hurting for jobs either way.
However, it should be mentioned that they at least brought the TPP into the conversation. Faux News hasn’t even mentioned the TPP, to my knowledge. I have heard it mentioned on other networks though.
From article
Early reaction to EPI’s report has predictably reflected the opposing views of TPP’s supporters and opponents. Opponents, including unions, have said the analysis is spot-on. Supporters, including the Obama Administration, which has championed TTP, have questioned its findings.
For example, a spokesman for the Office of the United States Trade Representative, said the report’s methodology is flawed. The report includes some estimates based on an analysis of government data.
“The method EPI uses to create these numbers was given ‘Four Pinocchios’ by The Washington Post’s independent fact checker last year for being a ‘whopper’, yet they continue to use it,”
see post #48
How much of that was his money vs other peoples money.
yes, Trump has invested a lot of money in unions and liberals. I’ll agree to that.
Woa woa, let's not critically think and please do not click the link and read. And absolutely do not review the original source, which of course throws out numbers without any methodology...
This sort of behavior is not TOLERATED on FR.. better to post GO Trump, Cruz a globalist.
You’re another pro D.C. career politician/lawyer supporter.
Looking sharp...
Says the guy supporting the guy who loves Unions and the Clintons.
BWAHAHAHAAWAAAAAAAAA
The lawyers/politicians have done such a great job. Just look at their performance over the past 25 years!
Who cares if they economically gang banged entire Middle America and put the next 10 generations of their off spring into choking debt.
Looking sharp buddy
Yep and Trump has made lots of cash helping those politicians.
You’re sounding very communist there. Down with big business, down with the political class!
Got it!
Is it his fault?
He was donating a ton of cash to help them do it.
Got it...Looken sharp with those witty answers.
In other words you don’t have a valid response to why he was supporting the leftists.
‘Four Pinocchios’ from the WaPo are usually a badge of honor. (Nothing really deserves ‘Four Pinocchios’ unless it's published by them, the NY Times, or LA Times.
