According to the news the American Economy had a major slow down

Here is proof that we need to keep more of our money at home.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. economy barely grew in the first quarter as exports tumbled and businesses accumulated stocks at the slowest pace in nearly a year, but activity already appears to be bouncing back.

Gross domestic product expanded at a 0.1 percent annual rate, the slowest since the fourth quarter of 2012, the Commerce Department said on Wednesday.

That was a sharp pullback from the fourth quarter's 2.6 percent pace and was worse than economists' expectations for a slowdown to a 1.2 percent rate. The slowdown partly reflected an unusually cold and disruptive winter, marked by declines in sectors ranging from business spending to home building.

How much do you spend on American Made products

Whenever you buy products Made in the USA you help an American business employ fellow Americans. A couple years ago ABC news ran a story regarding how many jobs a person could help create by spending several dollars more for products Made in the USA.

I don't recall how much it was however I recall it was not very much. When you are out shopping please look for items marked Made in the USA, every little bit helps keep us employed! I have noticed more and more signage and packaging marked Made in the USA

Why Made in the USA is important

A new report recently published detailed how we have in fact been creating jobs in the US, however all on the lowest end of the pay scale. This is a result of the so called "service economy" which is needed of Couse but should be accompanied by a manufacturing and skilled labor jobs.

When you are out shopping support your country at the same time by looking for clothes made in the USA as an example!

Made in the USA

The Made in the USA movement continues to strike a chord with the American people of all types. Does your political affiliation or lack thereof make any difference whether American Made products are important to you? I can't see why? Seems liberal, conservative, or libertarian minded people could all agree that products made in the USA means jobs for Americans. Finally something we can all agree on.

So next time you are looking to buy a product look for the Made in the USA label and help a fellow American, our economy, and get yourself a new product all at the same time.
