The ins and outs of exports.

Global trade is a give and take. The U.S. produced and exported goods and services valued at S2.2 trillion in 2015, the U.S. Census Bureau reports, but imported goods and services worth $2.8 trillion. The result was a trade deficit of more than $530 billion.

It's the imbalance of trade in goods alone, however, that drives the deficit. As a service exporter--of banking and investment advice, for example--the U.S. is a powerhouse, enjoying a trade surplus of $227.4 billion in that category in 2015.

While Congress and the administration debate the merits of current and future trade agreements, states will continue their giving and taking. Here's a snapshot of states' top manufactured exports.
