Since I'm not an employer, none, directly.

However, I did buy an American made care from an American manufacturer. Although I had to hold my nose over the UAW label (and I won't fault anyone for refusing to do likewise), that helped save a few jobs.

I've also managed to find made in USA clothes during that time span. What else? Tires made in USA. Software manufactured in the USA. I can't put a jobs created number on that, but it all helps to keep jobs in the US. And I don't see my personal finances as being any worse off because of it.

That's kind of my point. It's nothing personal, but I've found over the years that the strongest "bring American jobs back" arguments on threads like this come from people who don't run a business, who don't employ anyone, and who aren't subject to the competing pressures of paying employees well and meeting pricing demands of customers/clients that make it difficult to pay those employees well.

Like I said ... it's a very difficult issue, and it isn't going to be "fixed" anytime soon.
