About a decade ago, the truths behind textile sweatshop manufacturing finally became mainstream. While most of these truths were major issues on the terrible conditions workers faced day to day, some proved these factories are helpful to the countries they were in. The use of sweatshops is all over the world by different countries but the US based companies may be one of the largest abusers. Once this was brought about to the public, there was much controversy which split peoples opinions in many ways. Some were outraged and said it must be stopped at once. Others saw it as a great way to expand production cheaply and to help developing countries grow. There were some who said it is a great idea, but that there should be more regulations to the system. Textile sweatshops have been a mainstream issue for a long time and has become very controversial; some are against it while others support it, and still many say it just needs regulated. .
The U.S. Census Bureau today projected that on Jan. 1, 2014, the United States population will be 317,297,938. Anytime there is population growth product demand increases. On account of this many companies needed to figure out ways to better mass produce products in a cheap manor. From toys, electronics, apparel, cars to even food were needed in larger quantities. One particular product needed that found outsourcing the manufacturing to sweatshops what the textile industry. By doing this companies were able to produce textiles for much cheaper and at much higher quantities. Wal-Mart, JC Penney and Sears are few of the many that have been caught using sweatshops. By building huge factories to produce the textiles in poverty stricken countries they bring a whole new income for the people and country. Surprisingly there are many solutions to this almost never ending topic. One thing that could be done is all production of goods could be brought back to the US.
