As we work toward changing the way business is done in America, more than 29 Million businesses registered in America welcome your business and concern for American workers. These businesses represent sole proprietors, small and medium size businesses as well as larger businesses employing hundreds or thousands of people. The 29 million private sector businesses presently provide over 128 million Americans with full and part time jobs.  An additional 23 million people are employed by government services. The combined total of private sector and government jobs is only 151 million people employed in America. These statistics are provided by the United States Department of Labor. However, with a population of over 324 million people, America should have more than 188 million full and part time jobs available for its people which mean the deficit of job opportunities for Americans is much higher than most people realize.

In recent years, supporters of the Buy American Made Campaign have expanded their efforts to urge America’s consumers to use their purchasing power to support American made products of every type which are growing in numbers in America’s stores. Helping businesses expand their product lines in the United States would create several million new job opportunities replacing the foreign made products sold in America’s stores. After watching tens of thousands of businesses relocate their manufacturing overseas, everyone is asked to focus on products made in the U.S.A., so we can help America rebuild and get millions of Americans back to work.

If just 5 million of America’s businesses were able to employ an additional 5 people to meet the demands for American made products, there would be 25 million new job opportunities created right here in the U.S.A. When you look at the amount of foreign made products now sold in the U.S.A. helping American based businesses expand their product line is not only a possibility, but necessary.  Thanks for your participation and for spreading the word to your family and friends.
