Many people believe the country is experiencing hard economic times.

Even worse, some folks are worried bad economics times will continue after the election. Now, it’s true that many people just like to claim the sky is falling.

However, there are key pieces of evidence you can examine to gauge the economic health of the country. For example, did you know that five historic American companies are planning to leave America?

It’s true!Many Americans will be surprised to learn the names of these companies.

Ford Motor Company will be relocating its production of small cars to a facility in Mexico. Due to high taxes in America, Ford has no choice but to make this move.

Another car company, Fiat Chrysler, will cease all car manufacturing in the United States in 2017. They will relocate to Mexico and Canada.

Nabisco laid off 600 workers at a Chicago plant, and the company invested $130 million in a plant in Mexico.

Burger King relocated its headquarters to Canada after merging with Tim Horton’s in 2014. United Technologies Electronic Controls will be close its Indianan plants to relocate to Mexico.

Finally, Carrier will also leave Indiana to find a new home in Mexico.

In total, almost 3,000 jobs will be lost. What do you think all of this means for the American economy? It will certainly lead to more unemployment and broken homes.

It will also lead to massive profits for the few lucky enough to be at the top. What do you think?
