Oct. 2013

An article in a recent Parade magazine, “Putting America Back to Work,” gives pause for some reflection and speculation about job opportunities in the future. Over the past thirty years or so U.S. corporations have moved their manufacturing to China and other countries where labor costs have been very low. Even though they had to ship all their components overseas and then ship the finished products back, they have made huge profits.

You can get some indication about how extreme this process has become by taking

a few moments to check the labels on your purchases. Well, I did just that the other day; and here’s a sampling of what I found. My Sunday outfit came from a variety of places: The suit was made in Thailand; the shirt, in Hong Kong; the tie, in Italy; the belt, in Guatemala; the socks, in China; and the shoes, in India. Similar findings would characterize most of my other belongings.

Recently I was browsing in a store at the mall and found a nice shirt with an unusual label: “AMERICAN LIVING, Estab. MMVII, Clothing—U.S.—Furnishings, Quality

Brand.” The label also displayed an American flag and a bald eagle. I thought I had finally found something that was made in the United States; however, when I got home with my acquisition and looked closely at a very small tag attached to the label, I discovered “Made in Sri Lanka.”

U.S.A. from page 1

major corporations—General Electric, Apple, Motorola, for example—are currently making commitments to increase production of U.S.-made products. But the focus will be on high-tech, precision manufacturing.

For such a renewal to be successful, a highly-skilled labor force will be required. Tomorrow’s young people who can’t afford universities will find community colleges and technical schools like TSTC providing excellent opportunities for gaining the necessary training.
