And still, Lynn says, it could have taken 13 different people to make it, each doing a different step.
Would like a generous estimate be like every single person who touched this piece got...
No more than 30 cents for what they did, or 40 cents.
Oh, 30 cents times 13 people would mean that potentially, theoretically, workers were paid $3.90 to make this bra.
And this is, like, made in America, right?
Basically, as good as it gets in terms of pay.
Now, some countries like Canada, Japan, Belgium actually do pay garment workers more than the U.S.
But generally, in countries that make most of our clothes, workers would make way, way less than $3.90 total to make a bra like this.
So why don't they do it somewhere else?
Is it because they want to be a brand that says we use American labor?
