I have been searching for this information for a long time, the concentration of Sodium Hypochlorite in bleach. Bleach Concentration.
Turns out that most store brand bleach or private label bleach is produced by KIK custom products. http://www.kikcorp.com/retailer.html
Here is the listing of all the MDS sheets for all of their private label bleaches. It shows the % or concentration of Sodium Hypochlorite in each brand.

I was looking for Better Value Bleach sold at Piggly Wiggly. You can search for it on the above link or click here: http://kik.chemtel.net/msds/40000196.pdf
You will see the concentration is 1-6%. Gives very little confidence that when you buy the product you are getting 6%? I assume they do it this way to show that it goes out at 6% and can loose concentration over time? Anyone with some time could try to call KIK and find out what the concentrations mean on the MDS sheets.
If you look at the Big Lots brand "Big Lots Top Job Bleach" you will see the same MDS and 1-6%?
Artic White Bleach shows 1-4%. Some show 3%-7%?
The Clorox MDS sheet http://www.thecloroxcompany.com/downloads/msds/bleach/cloroxregularbleach0809_.pdf shows 5-10%
