The Long Term Effect of Buying Sweatshop Products

I could only see the short term effect of buying the products of child labor and sweatshop labor until now which is saving $. However, I just learned that there is also the long term effect of refusing to buy those products - "it could save our jobs and prevent our wages from plummeting further," as Ed Finn says. I have always thought that "as long as I can get a decent quality product for the lowest price, that's all that matters to me." Now I'm going to try to think about the long term effect when I purchase a product. Although I don't think I'm going to be doing jobs in which I earn wages, if more and more Americans keep losing their jobs, it's somehow going to affect me and everyone else in such ways that the economy could go into the recession and the stock prices will tank. 

It's hard to find anything on the market that is actually made in U.S.A. Most electronics are manufactured in China, although few are actually made in Japan, which is not domestic. Most clothes I buy are also made overseas. I haven't purchased many clothes recently, but I plan to stop buying from the Big 3 brands which are American Eagle, Abercrombie & Fitch, Hollister plus Gap. I never really liked any of these brands anyway. Instead, I will start buying more from American Apparel. True to its name, all clothes sold at American Apparel retail stores are made in downtown Los Angeles, and I don't think there are any sweatshops in the United States, so I will be gladly wearing AA clothes knowing that my clothes are made with qualities by my fellow Californians.
