A report issued today by the Economic Policy
Institute focuses on jobs lost to the U.S. economy as a result of Walmart’s
Chinese imports.
Imports from China have cost the United States a lot
of jobs—3.2 million of them between 2001 and 2013. And Walmart accounted for
around 415,000 of those lost jobs, the report estimates. That’s 13.2 percent of the
jobs lost to Chinese imports that can be attributed to Walmart.
