Just about all "made in USA" products today are "assembled in the USA from global materials/components." This usually means that the absolute bare minimum of work is done in the USA in order to claim US origin. For example, pillows that are sewn over seas from foreign fabric and the only part that is done here is inserting the filling and closing the final stitch.
The US was once a global leader in textiles and now virtually all of that industry is gone. The same goes for many many other industries.
From the 1930s until the 1990s, Rawlings Sporting Goods produced high quality sporting goods in Missouri. In my home town they made hand-stitched Baseball Gloves, Footballs and starting in the 1980s, Injection Molded baseball helmets. They also made all of the team jerseys for little league and high school sports in another town near by. They employed ~200-300 people in my town and probably 1000 more in a couple of other factories in other towns. In the late 90s all of that was moved to China. The same thing happened with hundreds of companies across almost every industry. Anyone who claims that industry in the USA wasn't totally gutted in the 80s and 90s is using some creative accounting or just flat out lying.
