Why "Made in the USA" matters

"Made in the USA" means "all significant parts and processing that go into the product must be of US origin. That is, the product should contain no — or negligible — foreign content,” according to the Federal Trade Commission. The writer of "American Made: What is it & why it matters" reveals what "Made in the USA" really means:
  1. We keep jobs in the U.S.. U.S. manufacturing plummeted from employing 19 million at its height to 12 million today, according to the National Association of Manufacturers (NAM) and the Bureau of Labor Statistics. What's promising is that for every manufacturing job created, approximately 1.6 jobs get created due to the ripple effect through suppliers and customers. For example, "in order to create one baseball bat there are: loggers to cut trees, truck drivers to deliver them to the mill, mill workers to create billets, truck drivers to deliver them to the factory to manufacture the bats, marketers to market them, and retailers to sell them."
  2. We stay competitive. "Manufacturers in the U.S. perform two-thirds of all private sector R&D in the nation, driving more innovation than any other sector" (NAM). Innovation means the U.S. remains a leader in manufacturing.
