As the world's population increases, the competition for jobs does so as well.
The biggest expense in most business if the cost of labour. So, in an effort to keep the cost of goods lower, cheaper labour needs to be sourced out. Unfortunately this is usually not in North America.
Would you buy something for $10 knowing that it wasn't made in North America, or would you rather pay $50 for the same item if it were made locally.
It's human nature to be cheap and greedy, to get the most for the least. We don't care that if we buy that product for $10 our neighbor will lose a job. All we care about, is that we saved money.
