A few days ago someone came into my shop with a beautiful high-priced designer dress in need of some alterations. The client mentioned that this dress cost her $3000.00 and I thought for sure that at that price the dress might actually be made somewhere in the USA. Imagine my surprise when I looked at the tag and read MADE IN CHINA! I was disappointed to see that even a high-end designer selling her clothes for that amount of money can't find it in her heart to have them made in this country.
This is what happens when your profit margin is all you care about. Meanwhile, unemployment in the USA is rising and will likely continue to do so. When will the company owners develop a conscience and bring some of these jobs back to their home country? How about they learn to live on a few million less and use the money to hire local labor at a decent wage?
Alas, it's probably just a dream that won't ever become a reality. All I can say is that I'm very glad I'm not one of them. As always, everything sold in my store and on my website is made right here in Albuquerque, New Mexico and I couldn't be more proud of that fact.
