    The textile industry was once a major employer in Belmont, NC, but many plants have shut down and moved jobs overseas. This has left many citizens of Belmont jobless. Studies project a 15% decrease in textile jobs from 2008-2018. However, there is hope - a new textile company called JO MAR Spinning has opened in one of the old R.L. Stowe buildings, and hopes are that more companies will follow to help bring jobs back to Belmont. Keeping textile jobs in the US could help create more jobs in Belmont and the country.

    ESSAY/POWERPOINT
    By : Matt Davis

    Topic: Textiles in Belmont, NC


    Textiles in Belmont
    Textiles in my hometown of Belmont, NC
    (historically known as ‘The City of
    Diversified Textiles’) used to be the
    “premier job” around here. But with the
    way the economy has shipped textile jobs
    overseas, this has caused many plants too
    shut down including the textile plants in
    Belmont, it’s a job that is almost obsolete
    around here.
    Jobless…
    And once the R.L. Stowe Mills
    Corporation closed down,(one of the
    biggest textile corps. around) many
    citizens of Belmont were left jobless.
    To this day many of those people are
    still looking for employment.
    Statistics
    And studies are showing that the textile
    industry, along with other related fields of

    15%
    employment will continue to lose jobs with a
    projected 15% job decrease from 2008-2018.
    Solution…?
    So with the majority of textile jobs
    moving overseas and plants shutting
    down, is there a solution to help
    Belmont citizens get they’re jobs back
    as they truly need?
    I Believe So!
    I believe this problem can easily be
    solved. One way in particular which
    is already happening is that JO MAR
    Spinning, a new textile company, is
    using one of R.L. Stowe’s old
    buildings. Hopefully more companies
    will come to Belmont and use the
    buildings to help expand their
    empires. Which will help bring more
    jobs available to people in Belmont.
    New Companies?
    One main solution is to keep our textile
    jobs in the USA. We need to be able to
    supply our own needs. This would help
    create more jobs in Belmont and for our
    country and open up new jobs that have
    been taken away. We need the new
    companies to open in America, not
    overseas.
