Trade agreements impact domestic labor markets by altering the dynamics of employment, wages, and industry competitiveness. While such agreements can open new markets for exports, they may also lead to job displacement in certain sectors due to increased competition. Workers in industries facing outsourcing may experience wage stagnation or loss of employment, provoking public outcry and influencing political discourse. Policymakers must balance the benefits of trade agreements—such as economic growth and consumer choice—against the social costs experienced by vulnerable workers.
