USTDA's Top Exporting States 
USTDA supports job creation all over America. Last week, the Agency completed the "Top Exporting States" countdown to showcase how USTDA's programs help increase exports in states across the country.

Check out below the "Top 5 Exporting States" in the U.S. Together, they generated over $25 billion in exports and supported more than 200,000 U.S. jobs.   

See if your state made the list! 
The California Chamber supports expansion of international trade and investment, fair and equitable market access for California products abroad, and elimination of disincentives that impede the international competitiveness of California business.

DYK?  California is one of the 10 largest economies in the world with a gross state product (GSP) of more than $2 trillion. International-related commerce (including exports and imports of goods and services, plus investments) accounts for approximately one-quarter of the state's economy. Although trade is a nationally determined policy issue, its impact on California is immense. California exports to 228 foreign markets.
