"The industry’s importance to the state has led politicians like Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer to try and take credit for an imagined uptick in auto jobs. “Since I took office, Michigan has added more than 25,000 auto jobs,” Whitmer tried to claim in a June 2, 2022, tweet. However, even left-leaning PolitiFact would have none of it, saying the governor’s claim was “mostly false.” It concluded that between January 2019, when Whitmer took office, and May 2022, the number of auto jobs in the state was “slightly lower.” Further, in February, CNN, citing Bureau of Labor Statistics figures, reported that jobs in Michigan’s “plants, parts factories and corporate offices shrank by 35% since 1990. “And those jobs make up only 3.7% of the jobs in the state, roughly half what it was in 1990,” the network reported. “Today, more than four times as many workers in Michigan have jobs at one of the state’s hospitals than at an auto assembly plant.”
Whitmer 2028 shouldn't be a thing.
