According to an ABC News: Made In America report, if we, Americans, spent $64 per year on products made in America, we could create 200,000 jobs. How exciting is that! I can spend $5.33 per month to create 16,667 jobs every month! My part in helping the economy get back on the upswing is in my purchase. Seems simple enough. So I set out to make my first purposeful Made in the U.S.A. purchase. I bought my prenatal vitamins - One A Day® Women’s Prenatal vitamins.
Based on my purchase and math, I created 42,104 jobs. That figure blows me away. I buy some vitamins and create some jobs. Let's see how many more jobs I can create. You know, if 5 people spend $320, that would create a million jobs. Since the holiday season is coming up, that doesn't seem that unrealistic. $5.33 a month could equal a lot more than a few pennies. It could equal someone's livelihood. Happy Shopping!

That is a really awesome thought! I will be more mindful at the store next time about where my products were made. :)
ReplyDeleteAnn,
