An opinion column in the New York Times by Donald J. Boudreaux of George Mason University is titled “Trade Is Not a Job Killer.” In the column, Boudreaux notes that work by MIT economist David Autor and colleagues estimates “that trade with China from 1999 to 2011 destroyed 2.4 million jobs in the United States.” If trade with China during that period, often called the “China shock,” destroyed 2.4 million jobs, how can Boudreaux claim that “trade is not a job killer”?
