Tire production in the United States has been on the decline, in both absolute and relative terms.

Question:

Tire production in the United States has been on the decline, in both absolute and relative terms. Imported tires are replacing most of the domestically manufactured tires in the market. Trade unions in the United States have claimed that over 7,000 jobs have been lost due to Chinese tire imports. You read a blog post that uses this example to say that this is exactly why countries should not engage in free trade; cheaper imports will flood the domestic market and unemployment in the country will increase. Do you think the blogger’s conclusions are entirely correct? Explain.
