No. That's why I asked where the jobs are going. But NAFTA has caused many Indiana manufacturing jobs to move to Mexico in the past decade. It's because NAFTA allows corporations to use Mexico as a 51st state. In that "state," corporations can pay workers much less and pollute much more. Wouldn't be surprised to find out that those jobs are going south.

Many of the jobs that moved to Mexico have moved east -- to China. Manufacturing always follows cheap labor and right now the cheapest labor around is in Asia.
