Decline in Manufacturing

The steady decline in manufacturing in the U.S. has been going on since the early 80's. With manufacturing and finished machined parts being done cheaper overseas , employee's of US based manufacturing companies have steadily seen there wages stagnate. The products that I have come across that were manufactured from China have quality issues that should not be ignored. Some of these issues are so severe that the US buyer of these products should consider the quality of the part verses the cost of keeping that part in the US to be manufactured. US manufactured products are far superior in quality in my opinion. I think the individual employee in the US takes far more pride in his work and work ethic standards. So if you are an American company please consider the next time you need something done to take a closer look at the American worker.
