Back in the Spring and Summer of 2010, I was pleased to report that we generated the support of millions of Americans who were going out of their way to promote the Buy American Made Campaign. Five years ago, I outlined how I made it a point to shop for American Made Products at both local and major retail stores where I saw that imported products far outnumbered those being made in the U.S.A. Today, as I go shopping, I see some improvements and I continue to speak with managers and sales personnel so they know their customers want a larger selection of items made in America. After years of watching business owners manufacture products abroad, doing business in America has been changing. Today America’s consumers have experienced unemployment and a shrinking purchasing power. Today, business owners are finding themselves with more inventory and less sales mainly because Americans without jobs are limited to what they can buy no matter where the products are made. Additionally, Americans see that the service-oriented jobs of the past are not in demand as they were before so it’s important to get back to manufacturing at least one competitive American made product for every foreign made product sold in America.
