Yep, estimates are the the big 3 generate Approx 10 MILLION jobs (OEM, Dealers, Suppliers, Logistics, Service Industry that supports workers, etc) creating $330 BILLION in annual income that alone is STAGERRING, then you also need to factor in the taxes that each plant contributes to the city/town in which it operates...
