A 2013 survey by the Consumer Reports National Research Center notes 78% of Americans would prefer to buy products made in America. And they would pay more for them, too.
Yes, that’s right — more than 60% of respondents said they’d buy American-made clothes and appliances even if those cost 10% more than imported versions; more than 25% said they’d pay at least an extra 20% more. Reminds me of that old saying — “You get what you pay for.”
