If the current trend continues with the FTAA, at BEST, over a five year time period, 350,000 more jobs will be lost in Mexico's agricultural sector and that number could go up to 750,000. The Institute for Policy Studies says that NAFTA has taken a toll on Mexican jobs. It argues that NAFTA has destroyed Mexico's small farmers, bringing in an influx of subsidized U.S. food imports. Carnegie Endowment for International peace says that 1.3 million farm jobs have been lost since 1993. The Carnegie report also concluded that the pact has generated few new jobs in Mexico and might only be credited for a "very small net gain" in jobs in the U.S. "NAFTA has been a disaster for us," remarks pig farmer Julian Aguilera to Business Week.jobs.

So while the rich elite in Mexico seem to benefit, and the US has gained a small benefit from NAFTA, it seems to be driving the poor, women in particular, even further down. We need to change things, such as demand that Fair Trade be implemented, info here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fair_trade
