Or something to that effect.
Serious question for anyone who might know.
You hear talk about "Buying American!" and "Support American jobs!". But with the interconnectedness of the world it's difficult, if not impossible, to tell where everything comes from, where raw materials are made, where products are manufactured, where companies are headquartered, where the majority of their employees are, etc..
Take Dell, for example. In the past they've claimed to be an American company. There headquarters and some of their call centers are in the states, but their computer parts are manufactured overseas and the majority of their phone banks are in India.
Has anyone ever heard of a website or sites that break down all the relevant information on companies, such as headquarters, countries located in, where their product work is done, which countries staff is in, percentage of staff in said countries, etc.?
