I need a picture of a Factory that has closed due to outsourcing
Edited on Tue Nov-30-04 07:56 AM by GingerSnaps
I have to hand one of my term papers in today on outsourcing. I have searched the Internet for several hours now and I can't find a picture of a factory that has been closed due to outsourcing.

I wanted a picture of a factory for my cover that shows a deserted area with a sign up on it. Possibly a picture of a famous factory that shows what happens when our jobs are shipped out to another country. i was looking for a photo that looks like a ghost town. I wanted something devastating to stress what happens when a factory closes.

If someone can help me I would greatly appreciate it.

2. This is kinda old, and obviously defunct.

Google Images might help. :)

5. If you look at the PBS Walmart Special...
They were showing a Rubbermaid factory closing down in (Ohio?) and parts being auctioned off to Chinese competitors. Factory closed down due to Walmart aggression tactics and outsourcing.
