The new Economic Policy Institute (EPI) study on U.S. jobs lost to China has garnered considerable media attention.  One of the most frank pieces was a blog article by Bill Lambrecht of the St. Louis Post Dispatch, who observed that “the federal government – with Congress arguably complicit – has done little about trying to force China to value its currency fairly, trim manufacturing subsidies and take other steps to make trade more fair.”

The Associated Press also reported the study quite widely, keying in on some of the key finding’s, including, 2.3 million jobs lost to China since 2001.

EPI’s Rob Scott also discussed the report on The Diane Rehm Show.
