How can I find out what American Companies have left the U.S. to pursue a cheaper workforce so I can Boycott ?

Almost all clothing companies are using overseas workforce to manufacture their products.\n\nAlmost all shoes companies are making their shoes overseas.\n\nAlmost every business with a customer service department have outsourced to other countries.\n\nBy the time you decide on boycotting all the companies, you will be stripped naked and will not use anything at all.\n\nIt's a business reality of working in an international environemnt.

Try looking into ACNielsen reports or even look for Fortune 500 list.

You're making 2 good points.  That's called offshoring and it is terrible for our economy.  The only ones who gain are the big businesses.  The common labor force in America is becoming a thing of the past and that creates a country with no middle class.  Yes I do think that they should be boycotted and penelized but I can't see any president instituting any penalties since they are all owned and backed by big business themselves.  It's so irritating getting tech support from India or somewhere not only because you can't understand them but because it's such a slap in the face to America that this job was offshored.  Thanks for the question.

Let you figure this out. You manufacture computer tables in the USA, your cost is $50, i move to mexico and make the same table for $15, anytime i decide to start selling them for $45, guess who's going out of business. Since the free trade (NAFTA) was signed in 1992, about one million manufacturing jobs have went south, Good luck with your career of flipping burgers.

Yes, we are being killed by free trade.  What happened to "made in America"?  If we keep this up, there will be no jobs for Americans.  I would gladly pay more for a product that is Made in America.

You can make a list of all manufacturing companies you are interested in and search for their website on the web.\n\nOr you can go to Thomas Register's ThomasNet http://www.thomasnet.com/ as they lists all the manufacturing companies in North America for each industrial sector. For international manufacturing companies, go to Thomas Global http://www.thomasglobal.com/ . Each listing provides a description of the company and the contact information.

It would be better to boycott the American businesses who hire illegals.  While you're boycotting, write your local government officials and ask them to enforce the laws by fining these businesses, deporting the workers, and not taking bribes from lobbyists!

unions and high wages in the united states cause american companies to relocate overseas where labor costs are much cheaper.  Many former manufacturing jobs both unionized and non-union have moved overseas because of labor costs (shoes, textiles, steel, the list goes on and on...

President Bush has been dropping the unemployment rate with his new awesome minimum wage jobs. I'm with Rosanne bar. We need to create a maximum wage, I think that will create more job opportunities. Huge corporations will stop exporting jobs because the cheaper labor in other countries won't help them see more profit. They'll keep the jobs here and maybe pay decent wages. I'm talking 100 mill a year. I think that's plenty for one person.

Good luck.  Stick with an American if you want the job done right.  Stop outsourcing all of our jobs to foriengers, we have enough right here.  OK?

Very simple, I fired 6 employees who took off to boycott, they were not "illegal" but they were hispanic and in favor of breaking the law. Maybe the Government wont do anything, But each business owner sure can. I already replaced the hispanics who went to boycott with Americans who were interested in working, took abt 30 minutes. I wonder how they will feel tomorrow morning when they find they have no job here.

The Ho-Chunk Nation,ho-chunknation.com I believe could help with those items. As far as exports. When I am looking to deal with other countries I personnally contact there embassy here in the US to get direct information on what I am looking for. They have proven to be responsive and helpful whenever I email them.

American Corporation has moved their company's over to China for "Cheap Labor," To my understanding doesn't freight cost more to ship over seas, or even on a cargo plane? To me it seems that the Corporations should be loosing money. Then there's "Cheap Labor," Mexicans, Would get paid less then the average Joe, The problem here is pure simple Greed. Greed from the Government for not in forcing laws, and Pure Greed from Corporations. There wallets are getting fatter, while I have no Idea where or if I will have a Job next year?\n\nThe reason Why most Americans won't do the jobs is the number one reason "Cost of Living" Everything has gone up but not our pay. There is no way that we could survive on so little. WE are Americans We would not get any Help From the Government, So therefore; that's is why.
