The impact uf imports mi lite textile I
Industry has oft been cited but the tex- f
tile worker, himself, and thu economy f :
hi mind him may feel it inoic.
At least that Is the Hist of some fii{ures
compiled hy lite American Textile
Manufacturers Institute from various
tpivcrnmrntul sources.
It starts with the !)c|iartmeut of labur's
natiuii.it average income of textile
and apparel employes in tins country.
That tiiture has heeii iletermmeil to he
VtT'i7 annually.
The current level of textile imports
Into the United States is in the at en of
1.7 to 2.8 hil'.ii.n eomvjh iit y.-uin- v ril.
>er yearJFiuit. iieioiitir.|i to A'lVl, isl
[: '.TTJjTi to displace some 200,000 'u"s in I
' the textile and apparel industries nation /
// At tlie current aveiape wage of $4,4(17
that many more johs m the two industries
would produce more llihan fattl
million in personal Income in a year.
