Three out of every five displaced U.S. manufacturing workers have been forced to take a pay cut in order to secure any kind of job. and one out of three workers experiences a pay cut of more than 20 percent. These are among the luckiest workers. as frequently laid off workers over the age of 40 cant even find replacement work. This is not just a problem for America. Workers in other countries are caught too. as one worker described to me. "like a lobster in a cage. crawling over one another just to survive." contributing to unspeakable poverty and waves of desperate immigration to the United States from countries south of our border and elsewhere. Clearly. NAFTA was a failure for Americas workers.
