Text

The U.S. has experienced steadily growing trade deficits for nearly three decades, and these deficits have accelerated rapidly since the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) took effect in 1994 and the World Trade Organization was created in 1995. The toll on U.S. employment has been heavy: from 1994 to 2000, growing trade deficits eliminated a net total of 3.0 million actual and potential jobs from the U.S. economy.

The main idea of the paragraph

Since NAFTA took effect and the WTO was created, U.S. trade deficits have accelerated and the actual and potential job losses have reached three million.

自从北美自由贸易协定生效以及世界贸易组织建立之后，美国贸易赤字的增长速度加快了，实际和潜在的就业机会丢失了三百万个。
