U.S. halfway to 2015 export-doubling goal

摘要

Due to the Obama administration's agenda of doubling U.S. exports by 2015, insourcing has become the new trend as outsourcing wanes. Export levels are currently halfway to the export-doubling goal, according to Bloomberg. The five-year goal, started in 2010, was first expressed in Obama's State of the Union address that year. Although industry insiders and analysts are betting the goal will not be met, impressive increases booked in manufacturing and exporting suggest they may want to hedge that bet.
