Made in China.
Made in Bangladesh.
Made in Vietnam.
Made in Sweatshops...?
My brother and sister took my mom clothes shopping at Kohl's today and I tagged along. However after doing a search on the internet before we left doubted I would buy anything. I came across this website: http://www.coopamerica.org/programs/sweatshops/scorecard.cfm. I wouldn't judge the stores listed to harshly, but I don't doubt that at least some of their merchandise comes from sweatshop labor.
Yes using international cheap labor does result in cheaper products brought to the U.S. but I wish more people would recognize at what cost we have this convenience. I can't help look at the tags on clothing and get suspicious when it is made in a third world country.
So for now my only solution is to not buy clothing. And I also plan on checking out the store American Apparel, which I've heard is all "Made in America." http://americanapparel.net/
