Whereas according to the Defense POW/MIA Accounting

and Canada and massive manufacturing job losses; 
Whereas according to the Economic Policy Institute, by 2013 
the NAFTA trade deficit had already equated to an esti-
mated net loss of roughly 850,000 United States jobs; 
Whereas in 2016 the United States trade deficit with other 
NAFTA countries was $172,995,603; 
Whereas more than 865,000 United States workers have been 
certified by the United States Government through the 
Trade Adjustment Assistance Program as having lost 
their jobs to offshoring and trade with other NAFTA 
countries; 
Whereas the nearly 65 percent of American workers that do 
not have college degrees have been hardest hit by 
NAFTA job losses and wage cuts, negatively impacting 
entire communities; 
Whereas according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, 
two out of every five displaced manufacturing workers 
who were rehired in 2016 experienced a wage reduction 
and one out of every four displaced manufacturing work-

the average manufacturing worker earning more than 
$38,000 per year suffered an annual wage loss of at least 
$7,700; 
Whereas, as manufacturing workers have lost their jobs to 
NAFTA, they have joined the glut of United States
