TTIP and jobs

TTIP (Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership) could lead to substantial reallocation of jobs between and within industries, however the overall employment effects are uncertain.

This European Parliament Policy Department A study provides the Employment and Social Affairs Committee of the Parliament with an analytical review of literature and calculations of the potential employment impact of TTIP with a view to sectors affected.

It provides a snapshot of EU and US trade and labour markets, compares methodologies and results of ex-ante assessments and also uses information from relevant ex-post evaluations of other trade agreements.
