Is Made in France really useful?

The Citoyen &Responsable website wanted to study the impact of MIF (Made in France) consumption on employment in France. For this, three brands of jeans were considered:1083 and Remade in France, two brands that manufacture on our territory, and a major brand that manufactures mainly in China. A 1083 jean sold for 89 euros will allow 85 euros to be donated to France. On the other hand, big brand jeans of a similar sale value will give only seven euros for employment in France. The study also proved that the sale of 34 1083 jeans and 13 Remade in France jeans generates as many jobs for us as the sale of 100 jeans from major brands. In addition, making the decision to buy French also means choosing not to deal with countries that do not respect international labor law standards (child labor, unsanitary premises, etc.) and the protection of the environment. environment (polluted rivers, etc.) It's worth keeping a bit of snooping around here, isn't it?
