The United States Council Foundation has commissioned several studies to document the essential role that multinationals play in underpinning U.S. economic growth and job creation.

The contribution to the American economy by multinationals is increasingly being called into question.

These studies seek to document the essential role that multinationals play in underpinning U.S. economic growth and job creation.
