Answer 4

It's more expensive when made in the USA rather than some poorer country. In a poorer country they can pay the workers like a dollar a day (literally) and get away with it. The workers have super low wages - it's sad.

Clothing made in the USA is most likely a luxury brand.

Answer 7

as a few of the other people stated, "america isnt known for making clothes.,.. Burberry is made in the US.- And one of the greatest american designers, Bill Blass is made in the US. If us Americans want low prices, the jobs must be outsourced,  the overhead of running a business in america is ridiculous

Answer 8

becuase the companies get the from other contrys chep and cell them for a profit in the us

Answer 9

Well, because it's cheaper to have the clothes made overseas.  That's why most everything is made in another country.

Answer 10

Well, why should they be made in the U.S.? The U.S. is definitely not known for making clothing, that's for sure. It's cheaper to use poorer countries because workers are paid extremely low wages.

Answer 11

because outsourcing is the answer to everything

Answer 12

Because little preschool fingers can sew faster.

Answer 13

it's cheaper for clothing to be made in sweatshops overseas than it is here in the USA. the companies make a huge profit.

Answer 14

Because american business is expensive, and outsourcing they're products to places that use slave labor is cheap and cost effective!

they make the clothes for a couple bucks, pay the workers a couple cents an hour, then sell you your name brand shirts for $20 a pop!  Isn't that great?!

Answer 15

Because you can get cheaper labor in those countries to make the clothes. They have very loose labor laws there so someone there could be working for, say, 50 cents and hour (just a guess) while over here minimum wage is around 7.50 an hour i think. It all comes down to the companies making a larger profit, no matter what kind human rights violations have to happen for them.

Answer 16

cheap labor in the other countries.

Answer 17

They already charge ridiculous prices for clothes, now imagine if they had to pay their workers a decent wage to make it.  

Answer 18

way way cheaper

Answer 19

Because it's cheap. They make their clothes at the littlest cost and sell it for as much as they can for the quality to make the most money. It's capitalism at its finest.  

Answer 20

because its cheaper on labor cost and they can make more money its all big business its all the same
