Wilbur Ross Says Coronavirus Will Be Good for U.S. Jobs

January 30, 2020 · 8:48 am ET · Leave a Comment

Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross told Fox News the coronavirus — which has killed 170 in China and infected more than 7,700 people — “will help” to bring jobs to the United States because companies will be moving operations away from impacted areas.

Said Ross: “I think it will help to accelerate the return of jobs to North America, some to the U.S., probably some to Mexico as well.”
