This paper uses China’s input-output table during 1988-2007 and uses input-output model to analyze the influence of China’s foreign trade on domestic employment，and the results show that the influence of China’s foreign trade on employment has gradually increased boosting effect，which indicates that China’s foreign trade structure is developing in the direction of helping employment，that there is obvious difference in the influence of different commodities trade on employment，that the net influence of labor-intensive commodities trade on domestic employment has the most absolute quantity and proportion while the net influence of labor-capital intensive commodities trade on employment has the minimum absolute quantity and proportion，that the increasing rate of technology-intensive commodities trade is rapidest while the increasing rate of resources-intensive commodities trade is smallest. The affecting degree of domestic employment by foreign trade finally depends on domestic industrial structure situation，as a result，China should develop labor-capital-intensive industry，raise the value-added of labor-intensive products，accelerate the development of technology-intensive industry，increase the export rate of self-intellectual property brands and technology-intensive products with core technology，pay attention to the match between the development of capital-intensive industry and labor-intensive industry，meanwhile，reduce the import of labor-intensive products，and increase the import of technology-intensive products，resources-intensive products and raw materials.
