While many American companies moved their factories overseas during the late 1990s, studies have shown an uptick on companies bringing their manufacturing facilities back to the United States since 2010. Here are some of the most important reasons to support the trend by buying goods bearing the Made in USA label.
1. Buying American-made goods puts money in the hands of American companies, and this promotes job creation for future generations.
2. Quality and safety standards are closely monitored by institutions throughout the United States. Seeing the Made in USA label lets a consumers know they are buying a high-quality product as a result.
3. US companies must adhere to many additional standards, such as government protocols that regulate fair wages, ethical labor practices, and pollution control. Buying American supports these just and practical causes.
