The world trade organization, north American free trade agreement, and the European union in the last several decades have taken increasing steps to promote global trade through agreements such as the general treaty on trade and tariffs.
After the free trade agreement, the economy was stable and the unemployment rate was low until 2008. The agreement opened up jobs for not only American citizens, but citizens of other countries in their homeland as well. Sales profits were booming due to the amount of competition as well.
