(NAPSI)-While the automobile industry continues to be America's largest manufacturing industry, the majority of those jobs are in supplier and related industries, with total auto industry and related employment numbering 13.3 million, a new Center for Automotive Research study shows. About 6.6 million jobs are connected to automotive manufacturing and new vehicle sales, generating more than $240 billion in annual private sector compensation.
"When you look under the hood of today's automobile, you'll see goods from America's greatest industries across the country," said Auto Alliance president and CEO Josephine S. Cooper. "These include textiles from the Southeast, computer chips from California, aluminum manufactured in Iowa, and air bags produced in Arizona."
