Predicted impact of Trump's steel and aluminum tariffs on jobs by state 2018

Published by Statista Research Department, Sep 30, 2022
This statistic provides an estimate of the projected number of jobs created or lost as a result of the Trump Administration's trade tariffs on steel and aluminum in 2018, by state. Across the United States, the tariffs are predicted to create 262,280 jobs in the steel and aluminum industries. However, the rising costs of production and trade tariff retaliation by major trading partners suggest that more than 402,000 jobs will be lost overall when other sectors are taken into account.
