Job gain data cover the North American Free Trade Agreement's (NAFTA's) first four years and job loss data cover NAFTA's first five and one-half years. Between January 1, 1994 and September 29, 1999, about 259,618 workers were certified as potentially suffering NAFTA-related job losses. These data are sorted by state.
