Auto Workers by State
It's no surprise that Michigan leads the pack with highest number of auto related jobs with 241,883 jobs. California comes in at number two on the list with 189,749. However, the weird thing about the two is the huge difference in average salary per worker. In Michigan the average is $65,119, but in California it is $17,590. I can't quite figure out why there would be such a difference.

The only reason that i can think of as to why Michigan workers have a higher salary than the californians is that the Michigan workers are part of a Union that regulate pay, benefits etc and the Californians might not be part of a Union.
I would agree with this. I also think there is a higher demand for workers in michigan than in california, there are more factories there and thus a higher need to for workers.
