Here are 7 good reasons why! I lt matters because the textile industry generates $48 billion of the gross national product • — that's more than the steel, aerospace and petroleum refining industries. 2 It matters because the textile industry is second only to the steel industry in national • security needs. 3 It matters because the fiber/textile/apparel industry employs almost 2 million American • workers in all 50 states. Clinton Mills employs more than 2,100 and has an annual payroll in excess of $37,000,000. 4 It matters because one out of every 10 manufacturing jobs in the U.S. is in the textile/ • apparel industry. 5 It matters because the fiber/textile/apparel industry supports at least 2 million more • Americans in related businesses and industries. 6 It matters because, in 1984 alone, an average of over 215,000 textile/apparel workers • were listed as unemployed. And it's estimated that for every textile/apparel job lost more than one job in the U.S. is lost through a ripple effect. 7 It matters because textile/apparel imports last year alone cost the U.S. two million job • opportunities overall. Since 1973, a peak employment year, about one-fifth of the work force in these industries has been lost. (Continued on page 6)
