And Wranglers are $20 a pair at Wal-Mart, but made in Mexico...that's the difference in money that Mexican labor and the arm-twisting that the big box purchasing agents gets you...Originally Posted by jwatts1
"Good" for the American public that needs merchandise at low prices. Of course, they might not need it at such low prices if all of their jobs hadn't been sent overseas and unemployment wasn't at 10%. Of course, unemployment is at 10% partly because American businesses were forced to trim the fat when the economy went South...the same fat that was causing a pair of American made jeans to cost $50...
Of course, maybe the fat wasn't in labor as much as it was in executive salaries and stupid spending...but I digress...
Vicious circle, anyone?
