The Impact of U.S.-China Trade & Investment

 on Key Manufacturing Sectors

Executive Summary

ß Since July 2000, the United States has lost a far larger share of its Private Sector jobs and its Manufacturing

jobs -- and seen the smallest gains in Private Services-providing jobs -- than at any other four year period

since the 1930s.

ß Ohio has suffered four consecutive years of job losses for only the second time since the 1930s with the

recovery may be far more difficult now. Ohio’s job losses are the third worst in the country over the past four

years and Steubenville-Weirton’s losses this year are the worst of any metro area.

ß Productivity is strong but production is being displaced by a record tide of net imports, particularly from

China with which the US has a six-to-one imbalance (nine-to-one in Ohio) and a deficit over $12 billion each

month. Concerns about global firms moving production from Ohio to China are fundamentally different from

the worries 20 years ago that Ohio firms could not compete with Japanese firms.

ß The Manufacturing trade deficit is now the worst on record and, since 2002 has included the first global

deficits in Advanced Technology Products. China now accounts for one-third of the US deficits in traded

manufactured goods and for the entire US deficits in Advanced Technology trade.

ß All states now have trade deficits with China. Ohio’s 2003 deficit worsened to -$5.4 billion. China accounts

for only 2.2% of Ohio’s exports but is Ohio’s seventh leading trade partner.

ß Worsening global trade losses may have displaced another -4,200 jobs in Ohio in 2003 for a total of about

-179,200 of which -43,900 were displaced by shifting to or starting production in China.

ß Although the Ohio industries featured in today’s hearing are among those most adversely affected by current

China trade, there are indications that all goods and services industries capable of being exported -- or

imported -- are facing similar, very rapidly escalating effects.

The Impact of U.S.-China Trade & Investment

 on Key Manufacturing Sectors

Introduction:

From July 2000 to July 2004, the United States has lost a far larger share of its Private Sector jobs and

its Manufacturing jobs than at any other four year period since the 1930s. The US has also suffered the

smallest gain in the growth of Private Services-providing jobs since data were first collected in 1939.

Despite near record monetary and fiscal policy stimulus, industrial and particularly manufacturing output

has been extraordinarily weak.

Fortunately, productivity growth has remained strong. Unfortunately, US production has been displaced

by an ever-rising record tide of net imports, particularly from China with which the US has a six-to-one

imbalance of imports-to-exports and a trade deficit of over $12 billion each month. The worldwide US

Current Accounts deficit set a new record of near -$531 billion in 2003 and is on a track to exceed

-$600 billion in 2004. The overall deficit in globally traded goods and services has reached a record

-5.5% drag on real Gross Domestic Product -- compared with a -2.5% drag reached at the height of

“competitiveness” concerns in 1986. 

The Manufacturing trade deficit is far and away the worst on record and, since 2002 has included global

deficits in Advanced Technology Products. China now accounts for one-third of the US deficits in

traded manufactured goods and for the entire US deficits in Advanced Technology trade. Although

outside the scope of the current hearing, it might also be noted that the US global surplus in traded

services has been generally declining for seven years to levels now well-below those reached in 1992. 

Using the formula developed by the Department of Commerce, 9,500 US workers were required to

produce each $1 billion of tradable goods and services in the year 2002 and, with productivity growth,

Page 1
about 9,000 workers were needed to produce each $1 billion of output in 2003. This suggests that the

worsening balance of net imports of goods displaced about -360,000 US jobs (for a total of about

-4,944,700 jobs) in the more highly productive and therefore higher-wage goods sectors in 2003.

Ohio’s global trade balance appears to have worsened from -$18.4 billion in 2002 to $19.9 billion in

2003. It is therefore reasonable to conclude that almost -4,200 jobs in Ohio were lost to the worsening

deficit between 2002 and 2003 for a total of about -179,200. 

Applying the same formula to the worsening US trade deficits with China suggests they are responsible

for the loss of about another -137,500 tradeable-goods jobs in 2003 for a total loss of -1,116,000. By

this formula, Ohio’s worsening trade losses with China shifted another -5,900 jobs out of the state’s

traded-goods sectors in 2003 for a total loss of about -43,900 jobs. Note that China accounts for less

than two-thirds of Ohio’s worsening trade deficit in 2003 but for more than the total of jobs displaced

by trade. This is because Ohio’s non-China trade deficit grew less than the growth rate of productivity.

Ohio’s Recent Severe Job Losses:

For only the second time since the 1930s, Ohio has suffered a net loss of jobs in each of the last three

years. The other time that this occurred, from 1980-1983, was followed in 1984 by soaring job growth

as dramatic increases in Federal fiscal stimulus (budget deficits) spurred skyrocketing consumer

spending on Ohio-produced goods and services. The US’ Current Account deficit rose to -$94 billion

in 1984 as the trade deficit rose to the record level of -2.1% of GDP. 

Today’s concern is that with Federal fiscal and monetary policies now expected to become less

stimulative in coming months and the Current Account deficit on track to exceed -$600 billion, -5.5% of

GDP, Ohio is uncertain of a strong rebound in production and jobs. Total industrial and manufacturing

production increases in the US during the first 33 months of the current cyclical economic recovery have

been -- by far -- the weakest on record.

Concerns are compounded because the nature of competition for production and jobs has changed

fundamentally since 1984. Then the principal concern was that, even with similar labor and regulatory

costs, US firms could not compete with Japanese firms. Today’s principal concern is NOT between

firms, which have in any case become increasingly trans-national. The concern today is largely over the

location decisions for production and job creation within these global firms facing the enormous

differentials in the cost of labor, regulatory and living standards in Ohio and other areas of the world --

particularly China.

Ohio lost -4.1% of its nonfarm jobs between January, 2001 and July, 2004; only Massachusetts and

Michigan have suffered worse losses over this period. Ohio also joins these two other states as the only

ones to have continued to lose jobs over the year ending in July, 2004. This, despite a decline in Ohio’s

unemployment rate from 6.3% to 5.9%. Four of Ohio’s metropolitan areas are among the 25 metro

areas that have suffered the worst job loss since the end of 2000 -- Toledo (#7,) Mansfield (#15,)

Dayton-Springfield (#16) and Youngstown-Warren (#24.) Steubenville-Weirton has lost -4.2% of its

jobs over the past 12 months to become the worst hit metro area in the country. Steubenville-Weirton,

Page 2
Youngstown-Warren and Toledo are currently among the 25 metro areas with the worst unemployment

rates in the country.

Ohio has fewer jobs today than four years ago in every major industry sector except Finance, Health

Care and (State & Local) Government -- which face little if any foreign competition. That is, over the

past four years Ohio has lost jobs in both goods-producing industries and in service-providing industries

that can be exported or imported. The Manufacturing sector has seen the worst job losses (-18.9%,)

particularly in the most highly productive, high wage durable-goods industries such as Semiconductors

and electronic components (-42% decline,) Iron and Steel Mills (-37% loss,) Machine tools (-22%)

and Transportation equipment and parts (-18%.) Key non-durable industries have also suffered severe

losses, particular Plastics and Rubber (-19% job loss.) 

Each of these industries have faced sharply rising imports from China and elsewhere in recent years

although the mix is increasingly toward the down-stream products that were previously their customers.

That is, the auto industry is a primary customer for steel, machine tools, glassware, rubber and ceramics.

As the import of autos and auto parts have soared to perhaps $132 billion this year, production (and

employment) of these products have suffered in Ohio. These industries will be the focus of the

Commission’s field hearing.

It may also be useful to note that Ohio has suffered an overall -5% loss in the number of Professional

and Technical Services jobs over the past four years. This includes the loss of -16% of the jobs

providing Computer Systems Design and Services and -7% of jobs for Architects and Engineers.

During this period the US services surplus has fallen to its lowest levels since 1991 and the traditional

substantial US surplus in Advanced Technology Products has vanished, replaced by a deficit -- largely

with China -- that will approach -$37 billion in 2004.

Ohio’s Global and China Trade:

While the Commerce Department collects information on the state origin of US exports, there are no

official data on US imports. The most straightforward method of estimating the final destination of US

imports is to simply apportion them equally by population. Using this method, 48 states and the District

of Columbia had global trade deficits in 2003, most worsening rapidly, while Texas and Washington

state had rapidly declining surpluses. Every state had a rapidly worsening trade deficit with China in

2003.

Ohio exported $29.8 billion in goods in 2003, 7.3% of its total Gross State Product, just above the US

average of 6.6%. This is a reflection of Ohio’s slightly greater reliance on goods production than most

states. 

The dollar value of Ohio’s global exports grew by 13% between 200 and 2003 while the state’s

exports to China grew by 120%. Still, with exports to China of only $56 per capita in 2003, Ohio

exports to China at only 57% of the total US exports to China. Furthermore, while the US imbalance in

trade with China is about 6-to-1, imports-to-exports, Ohio’s imbalance in 2003 was roughly 9-to-1.

Page 3
Nevertheless, China was Ohio’s seventh largest export market in 2003 but accounted for only $644

million, 2.2%, of the state’s exports. China accounted for 31.6% of Ohio’s export of Waste and Scrap

in 2003, for 21.7% of Forestry and Logging, 6.3% of Leather and related products, 5.8% of

Machinery and 4.6% of Computers and Electronics. Although it is not possible to accurately estimate

Ohio’s imports by industry, it seems quite clear for the total US import data that most -- and probably

all -- of Ohio’s manufacturing industries now face large and rapidly growing deficits with world-class

firms now producing in China.

Everyone understands, of course, that lowering the price of component inputs of goods and services

lowers firms’ cost of production and can improve revenue or allow them to lower prices to improve

price competitiveness. And every consumer appreciates lower prices for products they want to buy.

Unfortunately, the capabilities of modern information technologies now allow large global companies to

make or buy most goods and services wherever living standards are lowest while continuing to sell in

Ohio and elsewhere. Those who believed that higher aggregate levels of productivity in Ohio and

throughout the US could forever support wages and living standards far above those in Mexico and

China have been proven wrong by chronic and worsening trade deficits. 

Those who believe that only low skilled manufacturing jobs and lightly capitalized industries face

price-competition from the world’s leading firms that now produce cutting-edge goods and services in

China face a similar awakening. The recent history in Ohio is a particularly useful example of the new

challenges facing policy-makers and the American standard of living.
