Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA)

Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) is a U.S. government program designed to help workers who lose their jobs due to international trade, such as imports or companies relocating overseas. It provides financial support, job training, and job placement services to affected workers, enabling them to transition to new employment opportunities. The program aims to mitigate the negative impacts of globalization by helping individuals adapt and gain skills needed in a changing job market, ultimately promoting economic recovery and stability for those impacted by trade-related job loss.
