Description:
FRONTLINE presents a comparison of two worlds: deserted shops in Circleville, Ohio, following the closure of a local TV factory, and the bustling skyscrapers of Shenzhen, China. The link between American job losses and China’s rapid economic growth is Wal-Mart. For Wal-Mart, China offers the most affordable and dependable manufacturing, supplying up to $25 billion worth of goods each year, enabling the company to offer low prices to its 100 million weekly customers. While some economists say Wal-Mart's focus on low costs has helped control U.S. inflation, others argue the company is primarily responsible for the large-scale shift of American manufacturing to China, resulting in hundreds of thousands of lost jobs and a decline in living standards at home.
