I have to respectfully disagree. The American companies that are most likely to benefit from this change are manufacturers of consumer goods, like auto makers, electronics and other durable goods.

You're worried about 43 million Vietnamese potentially competing for American jobs when there are 400 million Chinese workers and 300 million Indian actively seeking those jobs already? By the way, the Chinese posted a $20 BILLION trade surplus with us recently, and that my friend is the cold, hard truth of job exportation. In light of those two facts, your post sounds more like an anti-Vietnamese rant than anything that addresses the export of American jobs.
