Jobs and industry will move where costs are less. I assume the top costs for manufacturing automobiles: human resources, and energy.
Undated link but here are
the top auto manufacturing states in the US:
- five south of the Mason-Dixon line, not including Texas: Tennessee, Missouri, Kentucky, Alabama, Mississippi, #6 - #10;
- Texas, #4
- four along the northern tier: Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois; #1 - #3; #5.
It will be interesting to see how this changes by 2030. My hunch is it won't change much. The states above are ranked, it appears, on number of auto-manufacturing associated plants. Would be nice to see ranking by dollar and number of jobs.
Wiki, as usual, provides a huge amount of data on this.
