What people might picture when they think of “Made in America” … might not look like the “Made in America” we have today.
The U.S. does have a domestic manufacturing industry, including a garment manufacturing industry.
In today’s episode: We buy a garment made by factory workers in the U.S. – a basic purple sports bra – and learn how many people it took to make it, how much workers got paid to work on it … and whether garment manufacturing is a job Americans want, or even know how, to do.
Plus: why domestic garment manufacturing exists at all in the U.S., and whether the industry can grow.
