Although it focuses on iron and steel provisions, the "buy American" clause would save just 1,000 U.S. jobs because steel is very capital intensive, the study's authors Gary Hufbauer and Jeffrey Schott say. "In the giant U.S. economy, with a labor force of roughly 140 million people, 1,000 jobs or less is a very small number," they wrote. That number, they contend, would be exceeded by the jobs that would then be lost if other countries emulate U.S. policies...
