NAFTA
The decades-long trend of globalization has largely served to advance the interests of corporations and highly-paid professionals, often at the expense of the majority of America’s workers. Many of the free trade agreements the United States has entered have cost American jobs and depressed the wages of most working Americans. EPI’s work on trade policy focuses on workers and measures how they are impacted by free trade.
