In general, free trade leads to enhanced social welfare outcomes, which are correlated with higher rates of employment. Therefore, free trade leads to more jobs overall in a society.

However, free trade also leads to specialisation and redistribution of production based on comparative advantage. This causes unadvantageous industries in domestic markets to become out-competed and, often, close. In these cases, free trade leads to unemployment. Moreover, the social gain from free trade is strictly greater than the concentrated losses, so more employment should be gained than lost.

A negative result of free trade agreements would be?

A negative result of free trade agreements can be the displacement of local industries and jobs, as domestic producers may struggle to compete with cheaper imports. This can lead to increased unemployment in certain sectors, particularly in developing countries where industries may not be as competitive. Additionally, free trade can exacerbate income inequality, as the benefits of trade are often unevenly distributed, favoring larger corporations over small businesses and labor.
