President Clinton promised 200,000 additional jobs because of NAFTA by 1995 alone. In fact though over 200,000 jobs were lost because of NAFTA (Morris 22). There is a group called the Public Citizen who sponsored a project called The Global Trade Watch. They reviewed the job creation promises of dozens of corporations.
