If a consumer doesn't have a job they don't care about the cheap alternatives. You can't have it both ways. You either outsource the work and get cheaper products or you keep the work here but have more expensive products. As long as outsourcing is viable because of 3rd world labor this will be true. In the end it comes down to finding a balance between jobs and costs of goods.
For example a tariff on work produced with labor that doesn't meet certain pay/safety standards could be used to lower the tax rates for companies that do follow those standards.
