It's companies you don't hear about in the news or read about in the headlines that create jobs for Americans, and they're the ones that get hit in this trade war, Brendan Murray, a U.S. trade expert, predicts. "We think of the American economy as being driven by S&P 500 companies, when in fact it's companies with less than 50 employees driving employment and investment in various regions across the country," Murray explains. They're the ones bearing the brunt of Trump's tariffs because they can't absorb the higher costs.
