Biden’s fuzzy math on 1 million new auto jobs

THE FACTS: There’s plenty of skepticism about this claim. At least some of those new auto-related jobs would come at the expense of current ones. Auto industry analysts don’t see how a net gain of 1 million jobs in that sector can come from Biden’s plan.

One million new jobs in the auto industry is a highly ambitious goal that would mean more than doubling the number of workers now employed in motor vehicle and parts manufacturing.

Many analysts and the United Auto Workers union, in fact, have warned that electric vehicle manufacturing probably will mean fewer net auto-making jobs.

There will be far less. Less cars being made due to shrinking middle class and less people making them as robots already are making them, even with dinosaur unions holding on.

The best way to increase the middle class is to increase the influence of organized labor...
