How many jobs do we get related to exporting US goods?
Dude, imported products contribute no net domestic jobs and wages to USA’s economy.
Nations’ production contributes to their GDP; nation’s trade deficits are detrimental to their GDPs.
The entire economic differences between USA’s domestic and imported goods occur prior the goods reaching the shipping docks of their USA producers or their USA ports of entry.
Products economically differ to the extent of which nations’ goods and services contributed or otherwise supported the production of each product in question. From the instance an imported product enters the USA, there are little or no additional economic differences between it and a similar domestic product.
Warehousing, distributing, merchandising or otherwise handling or supporting products are similar for domestic or imported goods; there’s no economic differences due to these functions or tasks.
If imported products are shipped back to their manufacturers for repairs, the repairs are imported services and parts that contribute to our trade deficit; which is detrimental to our GDP. Otherwise repair, rebuilding or retrofitting of imported or domestic products are economically similar for similar products except to the extent that imported parts are used. Imported parts contribute to our trade deficit.
