If this occurs, the result will be the largest wave of job
losses and plant closures in U.S. textile and apparel
history and will likely result in the elimination of
textiles and apparel as a major manufacturing employer
in the United States. Total U.S. textile and apparel
job losses from 2004-6 could reach 630,000, with
over 1,300 textile plants closing in the United States
over a three-year period. |
