ABC News has a video explaining how buying made in USA products can help you navigate the ongoing supply chain issues caused by the pandemic.
They start by saying that out-of-stock messages have shot up by 172% compared to pre-pandemic levels, and saying that Adobe Analytics is seeing a 3.3% increase in prices. Both of these are caused by supply chain bottlenecks and labor shortages. Items include clothing, sporting goods, shoes, baby products, and electronics are mostly impacted. These shortages will probably continue throughout the holiday season.
As we have been saying for some time, the way forward is to buy made in America to bypass these supply chain issues. Companies outsourced manufacturing for decades which worked great when our supply chains operated efficiently and boats weren’t stacked up in the Port of Los Angeles.
How?
Start by googling “Made in America products” and shopping there. You can also buy antique, vintage, and Goodwill items as well.
