The Trade Adjustment Assistance Reform Act: Two Years Later

In 2002, Congress passed the most far-reaching reform and expansion of Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) since the program was established more than 40 years ago. Now, two years later, it is time to ask, how successfully have these changes been implemented and how effective is TAA in addressing the needs of workers and communities facing severe dislocations as a result of changes in international trade and investment?

The Trade Adjustment Assistance Coalition is a non-profit 501(c)(3) public policy organization, housed at the New America Foundation, and dedicated to creating a forum for public outreach and discussion on addressing the needs of workers and communities facing dislocations as a result of changes in international trade and investment.
