NAFTA, Trans Pacific Trade Agreement, and free trade- shifting sentiment of the working class in America against trade that leads to loss of manufacturing jobs

03/09/2016

The sentiment against loss of manufacturing jobs as a result of trade agreements and free trade is strongest in midwestern states such as Michigan, Ohio, Illinois, which have seen the loss of manufacturing jobs hurt their economy. Especially hurt are younger less educated workers who see their job prospects diminish and wages drop. Bernie Sanders narrowly won the Michigan primary against Hillary Clinton by bringing up this issue in a barrage of ads.
