Do Jews have a clothing industry?

Of course, there is no doubt about it. In the first half of the 20th century, American Jewish businessmen were already in a dominant position in domestic clothing industry and department store retail. Their garment factories once occupied 85% of the American men's market and 95% of the women's market.

When Jews were in Eastern Europe, they mostly concentrated in the clothing industry. When they arrived in the United States, it coincided with the rise of a large-scale clothing sewing industry. 1880, less than half of American men's wear was ready-made. Sewing or customizing clothes was a popular custom at that time, and there was a great market for clothing evaluation. However, after isaac singer introduced his perfect sewing machine, it changed people's whole dress fashion at once. By 1885, there were 24 1 garment factories in new york, of which 234 were run by Jews. Most of the bosses are German Jews, and Jews in Eastern Europe are hired as buddies. A generation later, according to the old rule of racial alternation, Jews from Eastern Europe became "old ladies", became the owners of these garment factories, and then hired Italian immigrants or immigrants of other races as assistants. New york has been the center of American clothing industry ever since, and its shopkeepers are mostly Jews. 1890, about half of the Jews who made a living in American industry were garment workers.
