Job Creation, Job Destruction, and International Competition

Michael Klein, Scott Schuh and Robert Triest

in Books from Upjohn Press from W.E. Upjohn Institute for Employment Research

Abstract: The authors present a picture of how the effects of international trade on employment in U.S. manufacturing industries vary widely. They explore the labor-market dynamics and adjustment costs associated with international factors, particularly the way fluctuations in exchange rates, overseas economic activity, and the altering of trade restrictions contribute to churning-the simultaneous job creation among some firms and job destruction among others.
