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.

Please forgive my missembled disunderstanding but this thread's based on a goof-ball extreme left wing rant w/ no basis in fact. They're saying "Ohio lost 112,500 jobs in 2015 resulting from the United States' trade deficit with countries that are part of the Trans-Pacific Partnership."
Somehow all that got left behind and the thread got hijacked by Trumpsters --maybe because the way Trump's policies are in line with Marxist Bernie. I agree w/ Trump --the part where he said he agrees w/ Sanders only that Trump's the man to make it all happen.
82,9,000 = 89,000
Please provide evidence where Trump’s tax policies are in line with Marxist Bernie. Do you have a link where the rate are defined, for example? Please advise.
We were talking trade policies but trade/import-taxes are close enough. Here's a link to Trump himself saying he agreed w/ Sanders but that the "problem is he cant do anything about it. Related thread: Trump: I 'very much agree' with Sanders on trade
