There are a few auto jobs here in Iowa. Just about every big city has a factory to make some kind of part to finish up a car or truck.

The wage here is around $20- $25 an hour. And these people are making a good living. But they cannot afford to pay for a NEW $35,000 car.

The higher cost of living in Detroit has driven up the cost of cars so that the other states that are on a lower cost of living cannot afford them.

Maybe a bankrupcy will lower the cost of living in Detroit and break the unions to where the cost of an auto will come down to the US cost of living. And thinks will take off again.

I am not against unions but how that wage got up to $51 an hour I do not understand. My SIL belongs to a local pipefitters union and is nowhere near that $51 but makes a very comfortable wage.
