Explanation:
Major positive impact of this agreement is that it tripled the trade profits of Canada, Mexico and United states. It also removed tariffs which weer considered to be the international barriers. It increased the economic output which resulted in economic growth up to 0.5 % every year. Also Foreign investments are attracted.

The companies started to reduce their wages if they refused to work for them.
NAFTA agreement totally eliminated in doing good to the farmers. It subsidized the farm products and the farmers could not make profits due to the lower farm prices which forced them to search for many other illegal jobs. They plunged into poverty and starvation.
