Does Trump's NAFTA Correct the Damage Clinton Did to Workers?

[laughing dog]

NAFTA harmed some US workers and benefitted other US workers. NAFTA harmed some Mexican and Canadian workers, and benefitted other Mexican and Canadian workers. The new agreement will harm some US workers and benefit other US workers, and it will harm some Mexican and Canadian workers while benefitting other Mexican and Canadian workers.

Whether or not it will help make American great again - only time will tell.

Other than the automobile stuff (which could screw all North American workers), did NAFTA change much at all to affect workers any more than they were affected before NAFTA 1.01 was announced?

There will be a marginal effect on US and Canadian dairy workers since Canada agreed to open up a small portion of their protected dairy market to US cheese and milk. And there might be a marginal effect for US Pharma workers since generics will become available now after 10 years. And there is some increase in environmental and safety regulation for imports into the US from Mexico which might have a small effect on employment in wages in those sectors and their suppliers https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2018/10/01/us-canada-mexico-just-reached-sweeping-new-nafta-deal-heres-whats-it/?noredirect=on&utm_term=.0bba26f55a91 has a nice summary of the effects).
