Global Trade Watch on Trade and Jobs

From Global Trade Watch:

The

that we launched last week contains so many data products that they can almost be lost in a blur. Right now I’d like to take some time to zoom in and profile the most exciting new data product – the overhauled Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) database. The TAA database, available

, tracks specific layoffs that have occurred due to rising imports or outsourcing, as certified by the Department of Labor.

I assume they are hard at work on a similar database for jobs gained due to rising exports and investment by foreign companies in the United States.
