NAFTAs Effect on Wages & The Labor Market : A
paper
of 8 pages discussing the effects that NAFTA may have had on
US wages and the labor market. During the presidential debates
in the campaign in which Ross Perot was a candidate, he
warned of the great sucking sound that American jobs would
make as they exited the country in favor of Mexico were
NAFTA to be enacted. Four years after the passage of
NAFTA, opinions and results are both mixed as NAFTA is first
blamed and then praised for a variety of business results.
Amazingly, many analysts cannot seem to reach a firm
conclusion on just what effect NAFTA has had on the American
labor market and wage rates, though there is no disagreement on
the results of the components that have been studied.

Are They Still Necessary? Labor Unions in the 90s :
A 20 page paper which weighs the relevance of labor unions
today. There is growing sentiment that while unions performed
a very real service for the workers of America at the time of
their creation and greatest activity, that they perhaps have
outlived their usefulness, that they are unnecessary for today's

been adversarial, but some companies have been able to evolve
past traditional relationships. Bibliography lists more than a
