We may not realize it right now, but every time we make a purchase we have the decision to either help or hurt the United States. Every time we decide to buy an American-made product, we help improve our country’s economic standing.

It may seem a little too good to be true, but we control the future of our nation each time we make a purchase. When people spend their money on locally made products, it maintains the local jobs that manufactured those items. The foundation of a strong economy is the number jobs and a collective effort by our nation can keep us working. According to MadeintheUSA.com statistics show that if each American spent an extra $3.33 on products made in the USA, we could create almost 10,000 new jobs for our citizens.

In addition to maintaining quality jobs, it’s important to buy American products because it helps protect the natural beauty of the United States. American manufacturers are required to follow strict guidelines when creating products in order to protect the safety of our environment.

Remember to make an informed decision next time you’re at the register, just consider how your purchase is going to impact the future of the United States.
