A clear example is Vietnam. After liberalizing its economy, joining the WTO in 2007 and signing multiple free-trade agreements (e.g., CPTPP, EU–Vietnam FTA), Vietnam saw strong export- and FDI-led growth in manufacturing and services, which created many new jobs and helped reduce unemployment and poverty rates.

Other examples include China (WTO accession in 2001) and several Central and Eastern European countries (notably Poland) after EU accession/free-trade integration — in each case trade liberalization and market access were important contributors to job creation, though other policies and factors also mattered.

If you want, I can pull up specific unemployment and employment numbers for Vietnam (or another country) and cite sources. Which country would you like detailed data on?
