That sucks. But the interwebs says these companies are making up for those jobs.

China is investing Billions...

There is this, but honestly it's 6,000 government contracting jobs that the Prez can do nothing about anyway.

So if we are keeping score, then it seems like positive news for the economy.

As of December 2017:
Under Trump, US jobs are moving overseas even faster than before
All told, in the year since Trump was elected, more than 93,000 jobs have been certified by the Department of Labor as lost to outsourcing or trade competition, slightly higher than the average of about 87,000 in the preceding five years.
But federal contractors made up 10% of that number, rather than the previous average of 4%. That suggests companies that work for the government like General Motors, Boeing and United Technologies aren’t worried about political repercussions from the man in the White House.

Just keep worrying about brown people crossing the border, despite it being the lowest immigration in decades.
Keep your eyes focused on my left hand!
So far, not so good. A group that advocates for federal workers says government records show (pdf) more than 10,000 jobs at federal contractors have been sent over overseas since Trump was elected.
Federal contractors. Lmfao.
Sorry but that's a very lame example of jobs being "shipped" abroad.
Why?
Federal Contractors are usually required to employ a percentage of US workers.
Under Trump the number of jobs Federal Contractors ship overseas has more than doubled.
As for the general workforce (non-federal contractors) the number of Outsourced Jobs has jumped up as well.
What do you find funny about that?

Donald Trump wasn't even president on November the ninth 2016. Your evidence is based on illegitimate figures.

I'm so proud of our president and his great administration.
I was wrong about the Republicans, they do know what's best for our country.
What a genius, I mean bigly!
Pretty soon we won't even be able to make Dixie Cups.
Thanks Trump! You Chump!

Correct, he was President elect.
I have a hard time believing this chart would look any better if we excluded the transition period.

Oh wait, this was in 2016. A bit before Trump's tariffs. I guess maybe we can see how all this pans out in a few years.
“To address the substantial cost of this tariff burden long-term, Harley-Davidson will be implementing a plan to shift production of motorcycles for EU destinations from the U.S. to its international facilities to avoid the tariff burden,” the company said in an official announcement.
The company said the EU retaliatory tariffs of 25 percent would mean a motorbike shipped from the U.S to Europe would now face a tariff of 31 percent, up from 6 percent, leading to an average cost increase of $2,200 per motorcycle.
nobody will be looking for you to be honest or show any integrity.

Just curious why you are focusing on contractors? We pay all our taxes so it's like we are in the US. Well, income tax is exempt up to 95k...but all the other taxes get deducted. And look how crazy that graph is. It could have easily been contracts that were awarded before Trump was put in office....ya just can't say for a fact.

Source please?
If it's bad, then the entire US can say how horrible Trump was, but if things turn around because of it, well, don't worry, nobody will be looking for you to be honest or show any integrity.
