Help Stop the China Job Drain: Tell Congress to Take Action on China's Currency Manipulation

Dear Friend,

Unfair trade with China continues to cost us jobs, and our manufacturing sector has been hit the hardest.

According to a new report from the Economic Policy Institute (EPI), a staggering 2.8 million U.S. jobs have been lost over the last decade as a result of the U.S. trade deficit with China, including 1.9 million in manufacturing.

The new report concludes that China’s illegal currency manipulation is a major cause of our rapidly growing, job-killing trade deficit with China.

Every state in the nation has experienced job losses as a result of our growing trade deficit, with California and Texas leading the pack in highest net losses. Click HERE to find out how many jobs China has cost your state.

We need your help to stop the China job drain. Click HERE to urge your members of Congress to take immediate action to curb China’s currency manipulation.

Reducing our trade deficit and stopping China's unfair trade practices can grow jobs, lower our trade deficit, and put the U.S. on a more sound fiscal footing.

Together, we can Keep it Made in America.

Sincerely,

Scott Paul
Executive Director
