The new 107-page report, "United States of Trade:  50 Stories in 50 States that Show the Impact of Trade Across the Nation," presents the value of goods exports, the estimated jobs supported by those exports, and number of companies that export goods from each state and for the Nation. National data contain information on services exports as well as goods exports; services detail by state is unavailable and is therefore not included on state fact pages. It contains data from the U.S. Departments of Commerce and Agriculture.

According to the report, about 300,000 SMEs across the 50 states currently export goods to foreign destinations, supporting millions of American jobs through direct exports as well participation in supply chains.  The report estimates that 11.7 million U.S. jobs were supported by goods and services exports in 2014.

The inspiring collection of stories featured in the report illustrates how access to global markets is benefiting small businesses across our Nation.
