• HOW AMERICAN IS YOUR CAR?

  How American is your car?
  
  With all the talk about the financial problems of the big three auto makers in the U.S., I wondered just how much of the dollars Americans spend on cars actually supports American and Canadian labor and industry.
  
  I found this chart on the internet that lists the percentage of your dollar that actually benefits our workforce when you purchase a car.  The most recent chart I could find was based on 2007 data.
  
  How much of the cars you drive was made in the country you live in?
