I am writing a paper for my Sociology class about what would happen if cars were eliminated tomorrow. I need to know how many Americans are employed by the auto industry and all associated industries so I can put accurate numbers into my paper and have a good idea how many people would become unemployed. Also, please include the source with your answer.
