According to a new poll released by the Alliance for American Manufacturing (AAM), while a large majority of American consumers would prefer to purchase holiday gifts that are made in the United States, many of them say they rarely or never see American-made products while shopping. The AAM, with support from the United Steelworkers (USW), is making it easier than ever to buy American-made gifts during the holiday season with its 2022 Made in America Holiday Gift Guide.
