Trade Adjustment Assistance

Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) is a U.S. government program designed to help workers who lose their jobs due to foreign trade, such as increased imports or changes in trade policy. It provides support through retraining, job search assistance, and financial aid, helping affected employees transition to new employment opportunities. TAA aims to mitigate the negative impact of globalization on American workers by equipping them with the skills needed in a changing job market, ultimately fostering economic stability and growth in communities affected by trade-related job losses.
