You don’t mention Fruit of the Loom, which used to have a big manufacturing network in the US southeast, and which moved in the 1980s to Central America, particularly Honduras and El Salvador. This another particularly important aspect of modern US capitalism, the offshoring of production to low-wage countries of the global south. Fruit of the Loom is now further relocating from Central America (where its factories unionized in the early 2000s) to factories in Bangladesh, Morocco and southern Mexico.
