Roughly 83 percent of all garments sold in the United States today are made offshore, as are 80 percent of the toys, 90 percent of the sporting goods and 95 percent of the shoes. The closing of Pillowtex, better known in the Carolinas as Fieldcrest Cannon, cost 7,650 people their jobs nationwide. It was one of the largest single-day layoffs in U.S. textile history.
