Wednesday, May 11th, 2011
U.S.-Mexico trade since the adoption of the North American Free Trade Agreement has displaced 682,900 U.S. jobs, with Georgia losing the 11th most jobs, according to a report from a Washington, D.C.-based think tank.
About 18,300 jobs in Georgia were displaced from 1994 to 2010 as a result of trade deficits with Mexico, according to the Economic Policy Institute, which studies the economic conditions of low- and middle-income workers.
California posted the largest loss with about 86,500 displaced jobs.
