What are the primary causes of US auto job losses, and how do they contradict President Trump's claims about trade deals?

Despite President Trump's claims, the loss of US auto jobs is primarily due to automation and decreased market share, not trade deals. Automation reduced assembly time from 50 hours in 1988 to 18-20 hours by 2005, while the Big Three automakers lost significant market share to foreign competitors.

What are the long-term implications of automation for the US auto industry, and how might this impact future employment levels and the skills required for those jobs?

Highly automated plants will be necessary to compete with lower-wage countries like Mexico, resulting in fewer jobs than in past factories. The focus will shift towards high-skilled jobs in robotics and automation maintenance, rather than a return to mass assembly line employment.
