Delete this or merge with NAFTA's impact on US employment[edit]

This is an inferior version of NAFTA's impact on US employment and should be merged or deleted. Mulp (talk) 04:18, 12 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Macro evaluation does not reflect multitude of micro effects[edit]

"Jobs" quantity comparisons in macro does not reflect fiscal loss in "jobs" in micro. Ambiguity of "jobs" has been the significant flaw in a multitude of discussions on economic impact of trade agreements. Net gain of "jobs" is irrelevant if a) it is not employing citizens, b) causes citizens to lose what equity they had (house in rural Virginia does not equal transferable to replacement in Boston), c) generic "job" is more than just wage - does not include stability (contingent employment spiking), does not reflect loss of benefits (loss of medical coverage benefit is damage to "wage" of "job"), etc. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.169.168.225 (talk) 16:30, 17 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Out of date - More recent studies should be included[edit]

Latest studies are almost 10 years old. Article should be updated or merged in favor of the other article cited by another commenter.2605:6000:1104:8016:BC53:D7DC:1685:C7F1 (talk) 18:26, 24 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Merger proposal[edit]

I propose to merge NAFTA's effect on United States employment into North American Free Trade Agreement. I think that the content in former article can easily be covered in the 'impact' section of the latter article (it kind of already is). The latter article is of a reasonable size that the merging will not cause any problems as far as article size is concerned. Snooganssnoogans (talk) 01:08, 16 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
