Affects on US workers


Sweatshop labor have lead to many unemployment in US, it’s something that we can’t avoid because corporations are meant to make profits which in result of that are closing down factories in US and shift their factories and job positions to overseas because of the low wage labor. So said the quality of the product made overseas aren’t as good as the product they produce in US , that might be true years ago but since the technology improved so much through out the years. Today many of the products that are made oversea such as China, Indonesia ….. They are producing good quality products, such as apple they used to make their iPods in Japan, since Japan is very well known for their advancement in electronic devices but eventually now all the iPod are make in China. Why? Because they are able to offer lower coast, cheaper labor and produce the same quality of products.  I don’t think trying to purchase more US goods as US consumers is going to help, especially the products they made in US are much more expensive than the products that are made in sweatshops but they don’t have any big difference on quality. People are always trying to save money today on products and cheaper products with decent quality are going to be favored by most of the consumers and that’s natural.
