Trade with Mexico and California Jobs
Are jobs fleeing California for the low-cost labor of Mexico? Apparently not, according to a new study from the Public Policy Insitute of California. Researchers examined data regarding U.S. workers who lost their jobs between 1994 and 2002 either because of Mexican imports or because American companies shifted their work south of the border. In California, 28,000 workers lost their jobs. That’s a tragedy for the people involved — but it’s only 0.2 percent of the state’s average annual employment.
