Motor vehicle parts suppliers are the nation’s largest manufacturing sector, directly employing 685,892 U.S. workers and contributing to more than 3.2 million jobs across the country. As an industry, motor vehicle parts manufacturers rely on a balanced framework of laws and regulations in order to flourish and create jobs. These laws and regulations must provide appropriate and adequate incentives for hiring workers, conducting research and development activities, and manufacturing goods in cities and communities all across the nation.
