Tariffs on China Solar Gear Threaten U.S. Jobs, Report Says
BUSINESSWEEK - More than 60,000 U.S. jobs would be threatened by tariffs on Chinese solar-energy equipment that are being sought by American companies, according to a study prepared for competitors that oppose the additional duties.
Tariffs of 100 percent on solar cells and modules would result in the loss of as many as 50,000 net jobs, with an additional 11,000 in jeopardy from retaliation by China on U.S. exports, according to the report by the Brattle Group, a Washington-based consulting firm.
