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

Thats a pretty good start, obviously we need to Expand these Trade Deals so all these folks can spend more time with their families and get all their goods much cheaper.

When this article was posted last week we talked about 3 of the falsehood there:

Ohio lost 112,500 jobs in 2015

Actually, in 2015 total non-farm Ohio employment increased by 82,900.

resulting from the United States’ trade deficit

The affect of trade deficits is that employment goes up.   When the trade deficit shrinks people loose their jobs.

You might not believe it or maybe you don't understand it, but it is what it is.

with countries that are part of the Trans-Pacific Partnership agreement

TPP has nothing to do with it.  We're talking about 2015, no TPP.  If anyone thinks Ohio joblessness was caused by not having a TPP, then help is on the way.
