26. Tell that to my mom...
Who worked for the same company for over 30 years. Her father worked for that company from 1940 until his death in 1972. This company employed over 600 people in a town with a population of around 1500. Thanks to NAFTA, the plant and its jobs went to Mexico in 1998. Mom was given a very small severance package and now works in a hotel restaurant. She's 65. She was a purchasing agent who was responsible for millions of dollars every day. Now she's a hostess on her feet every Friday and Saturday night.

NAFTA worked out real well for her.
