2nd U.S. TradeNumbers released

August 12th, 2007

WorldCity has released the second annual version of U.S. TradeNumbers, a publication expanded in 2007 to include sections on the leading Customs districts, the leading imports and the leading exports.
As was the case with the inaugural issue in 2006, the publication also provides statistics and analysis of U.S. trade with the nation’s leading trade partners.
This publication, as well as the others in our TradeNumbers series, attempt to shed light on the impact of international trade and globalization on the U.S. economy, said WorldCity President Ken Roberts.
The story we tell is that U.S. exports surpassed $1 trillion for the first time ever in 2006, that the United States has a trade surplus with 117 nations of the world and a deficit with 115, that trade is not as simplistic, nor is it accurately portrayed when the entire focus is job losses and the trade deficit.
U.S. TradeNumbers is sponsored by HSBC, the global bank; Hellmann Worldwide Logistics, the world’s largest privately held freight forwarder; and Delta Airlines, with more international flights than any U.S. airline.
Other TradeNumbers publications produced in 2007 include Miami TradeNumbers, now in its seventh year; Americas TradeNumbers, now in its fifth year; Los Angeles and Georgia TradeNumbers, both in their second year; and the China TradeNumbers Special Report. WorldCity will produce New Orleans TradeNumbers in late September.
