This paper shows that, with the exception of education, these relationships between labor market attributes and trade policy preferences are not robust in US survey data. This suggests that either our proxies of labor market attributes are poor or our theories for what drives trade policy preferences need to be revisited.en-USTrade protectionSkillPolitical economyWorking Paperhttps://orcid.org/0000-0002-8855-511X
