Today Business News Daily posed an important question: Are consumers buying American again? The answer is yes—and the popularity of American-made goods is continuing to soar.

The article cites statistics from the China job drain report released by the Economic Policy Institute (EPI) last week, noting that 2.8 million jobs were lost to China, 62.9 percent of which were in the manufacturing industry. The article also notes that “The impact of the loss of these manufacturing jobs can be felt throughout the American economy, not just among blue-collar workers.”

Alliance for American Manufacturing (AAM) Communications Director Steven Capozzola weighed in on why Americans are more inclined to buy American-made than ever before:

“Any goods that are manufactured within the United States support four or five other jobs in the economy...In a recent poll, 97 percent of people have a favorable view of goods made in America," Capozzola told BusinessNewsDaily. "Approval [for American products] has skyrocketed, and part of the reason is safety.  American brands stand for higher product quality, and now the average person understands that if a product is made here, it supports the economy."
