Shark Tank should promote American Manufacturing - NOT telling US founders to go abroad

Shark Tank should promote American Manufacturing - NOT telling US founders to go abroad

The Issue

On a recent episode of Shark Tank one entrepreneur explained that her margins were low because her product was manufactured in her home town. Mr Wonderful immediately said that she needed to move production offshore. This has happened countless times and often in the "where are they now" updates from past products the the sharks invested in the entrepreneur says that they moved production offshore. 

Shark Tank has a global reach and a huge influence on which products are successful in the market. 95% of products sold in America in the 1960s were manufactured in America, that number is now a measly 2%. Shark Tank should be promoting American manufacturing and keeping and creating jobs in America. Not only are they actively removing jobs in America by moving manufacturing of products they invest in offshore, they are also telling their audience that it is foolish and bad business to manufacture in America. 

Tell ABC that they need to do better promoting jobs in America.
