Title: The Next Shirt You Buy May Say 'Made In Ethiopia.' Here's Why Source: NPR
*Date:* Oct. 27, 2014
Abstract: As labor costs in the "world's factory" continue to rise dramatically http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2014-01-06/china-wages-seen-jumping-in-2014-amid-shift-to-services-.html, global fashion brands are looking elsewhere to source apparel. In addition to established hubs like Bangladesh and Vietnam, the garment game is ripe for new players: Myanmar (Burma), Haiti and Ethiopia, among others, are looking to rejuvenate a once-thriving trade or even build one entirely from scratch.
