Made in the USA Day

Made in the USA Day is celebrated on July 2, right before Independence Day, and promotes manufacturing within the United States. This day provides local producers with special recognition and encourages consumers to support domestic businesses. According to some sources, Joel Joseph is credited with creating Made in the USA Day, possibly in 1989.

History

Coinciding with the eve of Independence Day, Made in the USA Day aligns with heightened patriotic feelings, inspiring Americans to support domestic producers. Products manufactured in the United States are labeled “Made in the USA,” a designation regulated by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC). Initially, origin labeling was mandatory only for imported goods, with few American products bearing these labels. Over time, the label has become more widespread and is now a key feature in advertising campaigns.

Many U.S. consumers associate the label with higher quality. Additionally, a significant portion of Americans are motivated by the desire to boost their country’s economic growth and are willing to pay a premium for American-made goods. This trend highlights the value placed on supporting local industries.
