American Jobs - How Our Jobs are Moving to Low-Wage Countries DVD

This powerful documentary began as a personal exploration of the "jobless recovery" of 2004. Disturbed by the news that 3 million manufacturing jobs had disappeared between 2000 and 2003, Greg Spotts hit the road with a video camera to see the damage for himself.

During the first 6 months of 2004, Spotts visited 19 American cities and towns during the production of this entirely self-funded film. There, he witnessed firsthand the permanent, structural changes confronting America's blue-collar and (!) white collar families as multinational corporations take advantage of "global outsourcing" to hire the lowest-wage labor.

The chilling result of 80 hours of interviews, "American Jobs" explores the impact of low-wage foreign competition on America's workers, families and communities.

From the textile mills of North Carolina to the software hubs of Seattle and Silicon Valley, displaced workers share their stories and their concern for America's future. Unsettling.

This is the documentary to Greg Spott's CAFTA and Free Trade, the companion book to this critically acclaimed film (also available at Legendary Times Books).
