How is expanded trade with China benefiting American communities?

Is your community benefiting? Find out below. Here each US county is color coded according to the year to date percent increase in exports per worker to China, relative to 2017 over the same time period. Only phase one (Annex 6-1) covered products are included. The hover tool reports the county name, levels, and the percent change.

County-level exports are computed by apportioning industry-level national exports to a county based on that county's employment as a share of national employment in the industry. For example, if one county has all the nation's soybean production employment, then all of soybean exports are assigned to that county. The code repository and Waugh (2019) provide more details.
