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.

They definitely spelled out their methodology, which was complicated enough to have been tweaked to get the answer they wanted. Lies. damned lies, and statistics is what came to mind.
It’s only one side of the equation.
I had no idea all this was Trumps fault. Thanks for that hot tip. I think I'll stick with the career lawyers and politicians in D.C.
Brilliant.
Was he doing anything to stop it? Or was he encouraging it because he could make money off it.
We both know the answer.
Yeah, Trump should have surrounded Congress and seized the White House!
Brilliant.
start your own business and then get back to us.
Actually Ive been in business for 11 years.
Built with my own money, my own sweat, my own tears.
Havent declared bankruptcy once. Nor have I left investors hanging.
Of course I don’t have a fancy plane or building on Wall Street with my name on it.
Or he could have chosen not to give money to the Clintons.
You can’t even admit he did that can you.
Why should I admit it when Trump already did that? He gave money to Cruz too. It’s what all people in big biz do. No? You better update yourself.
He gave 1000 times more to liberals than he gave to conservatives.
inform yourself
Why do ya want people to admit things about Trump which he readily admitted himself?
Very odd.
Btw, there is another thread running with rants about Trumps tone. You should get on it.
Because you’re supporting a self-professed liberal and refused to admit what he is.
You’ll figure it out when takes control of this lawyer/politician loser leadership chaos.
I see. Class envy and jealousy explains your motivation towards your opinions of Trump. .Got it.
Vote NO on everything. (Well I will have to study the Marijuana issues).
Your idolization of a liberal is nausating.
No, I’m an independent businessman and pragmatist. I believe in the rule of law and do not support illegals, NAFTA, TPP, TPA or any other interference by the federal government. Nor do I support government sponsored invasion of Muslim terrorists. What’s you position other than name calling and accusations?
Our protectionist freepers on the extreme left don't have any basis in fact for their cherished beliefs, and that's why they begin w/ name-calling and end w/ name-calling. What that means is us sane folks can get back to work creating wealth and paying everyone's taxes, and these partisans can call us traitors while demanding extra tax hikes for 'protecting' them even more each day.
Trump is the one supporting more taxes.
He’s the one that is left wing.
He’s the one who has given loads of money to the Clintons.
So who is “extreme left”?
