"We stood up for our American workers and fought to save the auto industry," said Stabenow. "Since the auto rescue in 2009, General Motors has invested nearly $9 billion in the U.S. and created thousands of jobs building award-winning vehicles. It is clear that keeping our auto industry alive was absolutely the right thing to do." The auto industry has been a driving force in the continuing economic comeback. Vehicle purchases by consumers accounted for roughly 30 percent of all economic growth in the first half of 2012. The automotive industry employs more than 8 million workers and since mid-2009 the auto industry has added 372,600 jobs. It is estimated that the auto industry accounts for 3-3.5% of GDP.
