Yeah.
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.
does.
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.
Oh, pennies.
So why don't they do it somewhere else?
Is it because they want to be a brand that says we use American labor?
That's worth money.
Absolutely.
Do you think that your average consumer of this product thinks, oh, wait, that's what American labor is?
It's like someone getting paid 18 cents to 30 cents to work on this?
Most of the garment factories left in the U.S., over 76% of them, are small operations with fewer than 10 workers.
You'd walk by some of these and never even know there was a garment factory there.
In New York City, a factory could be on top of a restaurant in Little Italy.
In Los Angeles, it could be on a residential street, looking like any other single-story house on the block.
There aren't that many factories or that many domestic garment workers.
In 1990 there were like 900,000 apparel manufacturing jobs in the U.S.
Today there are 82,000.
