Gobbers claim US labor costs are too high.?

So Eric Cantor suggested on Labor Day.. Is it.. US labor costs are like number 10. Tell Cantor is is full of crap..
.
.
.US wages trail 10 OECD countries, but with higher unemployment than 9 of them

Contra Eric Cantor, Labor Day celebrates the importance of labor and the labor movement in American history. But the bluster of Cantor, where he celebrates the so-called job creators, does illustrate that organized labor has been in decline in this country for quite some time.

It's a shame that people think that it's impossible to produce here. I believe we've gotten used to paying excessively cheap prices for everything. I hope we can change that, so I'm doing a project of only wearing American Made clothing and accessories for a year (socks, jewelry, underwear, etc.). Hopefully it helps prove that buying American made is possible.

I am surprised , considering how few clothes are made in the US , you aren't running around naked.

Haha, yeah, one would think, but surprisingly, I found quite a few things. I just hope I match!
