CNN's " Made in America: The short list"
July 13, 2012
“Small businesses are responsible for two out of every three new jobs created in the U.S. We need these small to midsize businesses to flourish and grow as they are our innovators, our makers and job creators. Making it in America, supporting U.S. manufacturing and buying American is one thing we can all do today to help keep the American dream alive and well.”
Here’s a short list of websites and Facebook groups dedicated to helping consumers find products made in the United States, along with a few brands known to manufacture most or a substantial portion of their goods stateside.
