The 10 states accounting for the largest number of import-related jobs are California, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Texas and Virginia, said the report titled Imports Work for American Workers. Imports from key trading partners including Canada, China, the European Union and Mexico support a net positive number of US jobs.
