A lot of Americans are concerned these days about
sweatshops in Asia and Latin America where poor people cut
and sew garments at cut-rate wages, often in unsanitary
conditions. But you don't need to go to a third-world nation
to find a sweatshop. You can find all the sweatshops you
want right here in the United States, producing a big
portion of the shirts, dresses, blouses, and skirts on the
shelves of big American retailers.
