New: 12 Million Jobs Linked to FDI

The International Trade Administration (ITA) today released a new report that details the employment impact of foreign direct investment (FDI) in the United States. The report, prepared by ITA’s Office of Trade and Economic Analysis, attributes 12 million jobs – 8.5 percent of the total U.S. labor force – to FDI.

“FDI continues to be a key economic driver for the United States. This report reinforces the significance of FDI in the U.S. economy and highlights that for every direct job attributable to FDI an additional job is indirectly attributable.” - U.S. Under Secretary of Commerce for International Trade Stefan M. Selig
