-- you look at the number -- the job numbers show what's that waiting for the government to solve the problem leaves us with another quarter of slow growth and -- struggling economy.

So one person who decided not to wait for the government anymore -- ahead of Starbucks he launch what you've probably seen in the stores not -- create jobs for USA program.

And we're just starting to see it work its way down to the street and a tiny little town in Ohio called east Liverpool.

That little town used to call itself a pottery capital of the world until people realized it was cheaper to make things like mugs and plates in China.

However as part of this campaign American mug in Stein was tasked with making the coffee -- -- -- now for sale in Starbucks is part of this program.

This is a pottery company that was looking at the possibility of shutting down.

This order in the promise for continued orders means not only will they preserve jobs -- add eight more.

It's not something in the is short term that's going to turn the city around them and statements -- you know we're not gonna get.

Tax dollars for another -- off.

Eight jobs.

Now the effort is an intentional way to bring American manufacturing jobs or bring manufacturing jobs back to American soil.

But handmade mugs are very labour intense and understand.
