The job estimates represent jobs that exist - or do not exist - because of U.S. goods imports in 2011. These jobs are referred to as "import-related jobs" or, net "jobs supported by imports." The negative estimates for some sectors should not be described as job losses in those sectors. They represent jobs that did not exist in those sectors in 2011 because the United States imported 2.2 trillion U.S. dollars in goods.
