Are American consumers willing to pay more for keeping jobs within America?

Better question.

Are American employers willing to [i]pay more[/i] to keep jobs in America. I'm sure people are happy to buy American made if they can afford it with their salaries.

I am and I do. I don't buy in "china town"(wallmart) at all.

When I get gifts for people, I buy from craftsmen/women or search for designed and manufactured in US products. I avoid factory made. The exception being tech that just isn't made in the US anymore so there's no option. So if my son needs a new phone, I'm realistic about it but would choose US if there was a good option.

And I agree with TyphoidJerry.

I am kind of waiting with an expectation of schadenfruede for the day when Trump scuttles NAFTA and all these people who thought that would fix things find out that everything costs more and that the number of jobs that we lost from that deal is nothing in comparison to the number of jobs lost to automation, or that the reason American job wages and security have been declining has more to do with the loss of collective bargaining than with the theft of jobs by people of color. Not that they won't find some other rationalization for why they aren't totally wrong.

Gonna be TOUGH to do if they slash Health Insurance Privatize Social Security and do some other things that asshat Paul Ryan wants to do

Interest rates are already up

Wait and see who spends where

Evidently not -- Even Trump imported his wife.

I work in a specialty store that is well known for its products being made in the USA and our clients have absolutely no problem spending the extra money!

sshhhhh ..... they hadn't quite thought that one through.

Remembering back to the 60's when we didn't have a boatloap of crap like most Americans do today, always buying bigger homes with larger closets and garages, etc. I think people can learn to adjust to it, especially to have quality stuff and not cheaply-made crap like people have today.

American consumers are actually buying a $300 picture book...
I think you're good.

AH-hahahahahaha
good joke

good question because we will

Or receive lower wages

No- Walmart
