American Workers Matter: A Chicago Wake and Wake-Up Call

Circle this date on your calendar: April 22. I’ll be in Chicago that day attending what may be a very significant milestone in American politics and domestic policy. It’s going to be a wake and a wake-up call, part memorial and part protest.

If you are a so-called American “STEM worker” in science, technology, engineering or math, if you have college-age children studying in the STEM fields, or if you have younger children who aspire to work in STEM industries and you are concerned for their future, you should do everything you can to join us.

April 22 is the last day of work for nearly 200 American workers at Abbott Laboratories, the pharmaceutical giant founded by Chicago doctor Wallace C. Abbott in 1888. The company sacked some of its most high-skilled workers in February to make way for H-1B and L-1 visa replacements from Indian offshore outsourcing firm Wipro.

Government Workers Now Outnumber Manufacturing Workers by 9,932,000
September 2, 2016 | Government employees in the United States outnumber manufacturing employees by 9,932,000, according to data released today by the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Federal, state and local government employed 22,213,000 people in August, while the manufacturing sector employed 12,281,000. The BLS has published seasonally-adjusted month-by-month employment data for both government and manufacturing going back to 1939. For half a century—from January 1939 through July 1989—manufacturing employment always exceeded government employment in the United States, according to these numbers.

Then, in August 1989, the seasonally-adjusted employment numbers for government exceeded the employment numbers for manufacturing for the first time. That month, manufacturing employed 17,964,000 and government employed 17,989,000. Manufacturing employment in the United States had peaked a decade before that in June 1979 at 19,553,000

From August 2015 to August 2016 seasonally-adjusted manufacturing employment declined by 37,000--dropping from 12,318,000 last August to 12,281,000 this August. The 22,213,000 government employees in August, according to the BLS, included 2,790,000 federal employees, 5,120,000 state government employees, and 14,303,000 local government employees.

After NAFTA: $1.66B Merchandise Trade Surplus With Mexico Became $60.66B Deficit
August 31, 2016 | In 1993, the last year before the North American Free Trade Agreement went into effect, the United States ran a $1,663,300,000 merchandise trade surplus with Mexico, according to the trade data published by the U.S. Census Bureau.

In 2015, the last full year on record, the U.S. ran a merchandise trade deficit with Mexico of $60,662,800,000. In 1994, the first year NAFTA was in effect, the U.S. ran a merchandise trade surplus with Mexico of $1,349,800,000—down from the $1,663,300,000 surplus of 1993. 1994 is now the last year the United States ran a merchandise trade surplus with Mexico. In 1995, the second year under NAFTA, the U.S. ran a merchandise trade deficit of $15,808,300,000 with Mexico. So far, the largest merchandise trade deficit the United States has run with Mexico was in 2007 when it hit $74,795,800,000. (The last recession started in December of that year and ended in June 2009).

In the first half of this year (January through June), the U.S. has run a trade deficit with Mexico of $31,571,300,000. While the U.S. trade in goods with Mexico has expanded greatly since NAFTA took effect, U.S. imports from Mexico have grown faster than U.S. exports to that country. In 1993, the year the U.S. ran a $1,663,300,000 merchandise trade surplus with Mexico, the U.S. imported $39,917,500,000 from there, and exported $41,580,800,000. In 2015, when the U.S. ran a merchandise trade deficit of $60,662,800,000 with Mexico, the U.S. imported $296,407,900,000 and exported $235,745,100,000.

The United States has also run regular trade deficits with Canada, the other nation in NAFTA (with whom the United States had previously completed a bilateral free-trade agreement in 1989). In 1993, the last year before NAFTA took effect, the U.S. ran a merchandise trade deficit with Canada of $10,772,200,000. In 2015, the U.S. merchandise trade deficit with Canada was $15,546,600,000. That was down from $36,460,900,000 in 2014. The U.S. merchandise trade deficit with Canada peaked in 2005 at $78,485,600,000.

The North American Free Trade Agreement created a free-trade zone between the United States, Canada and Mexico. It was signed by President George H.W. Bush in December 1992—after he had been defeated in the November 1992 presidential election by Bill Clinton. The House and Senate approved the agreement in 1993 under a fast-track procedure that required majority votes in both houses—rather than the two-thirds majority needed in the Senate to ratify a treaty. The legislation approving NAFTA passed the House on a 234-200 vote and it passed the Senate on a 61 to 38 vote. President Bill Clinton signed it in December 1993.
