The Benefits of Trade
The Benefits of Trade
- Expands and spurs growth in overseas markets for American goods and services;
- Creates higher-paying American jobs;
- Promotes U.S. security interests;
- Supports America's small- and medium-size businesses that employ 3 out of 4 American workers;
- Trade agreements like the NAFTA and the Uruguay Round have given American consumers greater choice and generated benefits for a typical family of $1,300 to $2,000 each year.
- Economists say that lowering barriers to trade by even one-third will boost the world economy by as much as $613 billion -- and boost the U.S. economy by $177 billion a year. To the typical family of 4, that means an additional $2,500 a year in savings. (January 2001 study by University of Michigan and Tufts University)
