Tariff cuts ease mass China layoffs threat, but job market pain persists

The triple-digit tariffs could cause 6-9 million job losses. Current tariff levels could trigger 4-6 million layoffs, while if tariffs drop by a further 20% some 1.5-2.5 million jobs could be lost.

China is trying to mitigate manufacturing job losses with higher state investment in labour-absorbing public projects and by using the central bank to channel financial resources where new jobs could be created.
