Best Answer

American jobs have been lost due to imported products. The best example of this is the US auto industry. Some 30-40 years ago, GM, Ford & Chrysler dominated the auto sales business in the US. Now imported cars from Germany, Japan and South Korea have pushed the US big three auto makers aside. It's true that many imports are built in the USA, however, that has not offset the loss of automotive jobs as a whole.

Did USA lose jobs to Mexico during NAFTA?

The North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) is still active as of 2012. It has caused lost US jobs by making it easier to move factories to Mexico (which was already happening, and is still happening with other countries like China even without NAFTA). But it also caused new jobs to be created because of economic growth. Nobody knows for sure whether it lost or created more jobs, but people like to argue about it.
