• The states are ranked by total number of jobs per state

Click on each state. I live in California, and found out that:

• We have the second largest number of auto-related jobs in the country: 189,749.
• Auto assembly jobs: 7,430
• Auto parts jobs: 42,741
• Auto sales jobs: 139,578
• Average wages: $17,590

Those pesky unions. They've destroyed an entire industry.

Oh wait. I'm confusing them with the Republican party.
