1 in 10 jobs in the US are directly tied to the US auto industry. If they go down, so goes the US economy (much worse than we've seen already). This is a really scary time.

However, the average Physician Assistant or Nurse Practitioner does not make $73 per hour in the US. Everyone is quick to say that health-care is too expensive in the USA. Do workers screwing bolts in a chassis need to cost this kind of money to employ?
