In the United States, the promise of more jobs proved elusive, the study noted, with NAFTA contributing to the most anemic employment recovery in recent history.

Pfffft. What is unemployment 4.7%, 4.8%? I thought under 5% is considered full employment.

Pre-NAFTA, it was considered to be 6.5%.

So they add the crime of lying to their obvious propagandizing. Prior to NAFTA we had not achieved "full employment" at all during the 1970s and 1980s. Since NAFTA we achieved full employment for the last 2 years of the Clinton Admin and then after the 0911 recovery we have it NOW. So the authors of this supposed study is knowingly lying about the data. So if they lied to us here, what else are they lying about?
