Todd Lipscomb Discusses How Americans Can Celebrate the Holiday Weekend by helping to Restore Jobs, the Economy and the Environment in the US
HOBOKEN, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Visiting with family and friends, taking the first annual trip to the beach, enjoying a backyard barbeque. These are the typical ways Americans celebrate the upcoming Memorial Day holiday. With all of the unemployment, economic and environmental concerns that have been nagging the country over the past few years, author Todd Lipscomb is urging Americans to truly celebrate their country by doing something a bit different this year – supporting American-made products.
Author, and founder of MadeinUSAForever.com, Todd Lipscomb’s new book, Re-Made in the USA; How We Can Restore Jobs, Retool Manufacturing, and Compete With the World (Wiley: Hardcover; April 2011; $24.95; 978-0-470-92992-6) addresses how issues such as jobs, product quality and safety, wages, the economy, and our status as the world's leading superpower are all tied together with our massive trade deficit.
As an American businessperson living and working in Asia for more than seven years, Lipscomb discovered some disturbing insights into America’s place in the global market. Using this firsthand observation and analysis, Lipscomb outlines the very real obstacles that have been placed in America's path to recovery, spells out the weaknesses that could undo China and the strengths that could save the United States.
“America possesses a diverse and empowered workforce, greater entrepreneurial opportunities, and proximity to the most important customer base on the planet, which improves response time to customers' demands and lessens the huge environmental impact of oceanic cargo transport,” says Lipscomb. “These attributes prove that the solutions to our economic, environmental and quality issues are right on Americans’ doorsteps – all we have to do is take matters into our own hands.”
For Americans looking to learn how to support their country, starting this holiday weekend, Lipscomb’s book discusses ways to help, including:
- How citizens, consumers, and business owners can take measures into their own hands by committing to buying and producing American-made products and pressure retailers to follow suit
- Ways to vote to encourage local, state, and federal governments to do what they can to attract and retain American manufacturing jobs
- Ways American businesses can invest in their companies and hire here
“Readers will undoubtedly find some of the facts in Re-Made in the USA disheartening, and recent developments discouraging, but will ultimately realize America’s spirit and gumption are alive and well,” adds Lipscomb. “The book demonstrates how Americans have the opportunity to chose the path to greatness and a secure and prosperous future by doing what Americans do best—rolling up their sleeves and working hard to fix it.”
