In the 1970s, athletic shoe companies began making their shoes in factories in Asia where labor was cheaper. Now, the industry is beginning to come back in the United States for several reasons. It's getting more expensive to make shoes in Asia, because Chinese workers want to be paid more. Technological advances, like robotics, are helping to automate shoe production. Companies want to get sneakers made closer to where they're bought.

Cause: Because it is becoming more expensive to make sneakers in Asia

Effect:
