Two) Find me another industry that, as a whole, touches as many business, and as many communities, as the auto industry, especially because of the retail side of the busines (the dealers) being in every state of the country.

That would be the glass industry that started dieing back in late 06' and really went down hill and fast when the housing market bottomed and stayed there. We have been suffering for a long time and still are. Raises gone, Prophet sharing gone, increased insurance, jobs being cut/down sized. The largest glass dist closed back in May, they closed because the employees showed up to chained doors. We are now the largest glass dist in the SE and we are on one knee. I can only assume the glass industry on the other side of the U.S is falling as fast as we are. We only deal with residential/commercial glass retailers, and that group is getting smaller and smaller. The auto industry is huge but so is the glass industry.
