Why Are Cars So Expensive? Beyond the UAW
CONTENT WARNING: This podcast contains adult language. Please take this into consideration before listening.
The average cost of a vehicle in the United States in 2023 is $46.2K. And that's just a "basic" model. Many SUVs and Trucks are upwards of $70K to over $100K. Many people blame the UAW worker for the cost of vehicles. Their "greed" is causing the price of cars to skyrocket. The average UAW autoworker makes $18.54 an hour, hardly greed. The overall cost of vehicles today isn't due to the salary and benefits package of UAW workers today.
In this episode, we speak with William Graham. William worked for over a decade with two of the top tier automotive suppliers in the world. He unpacks the real reason cars are so expressive today, the hefty profit margins, and why the UAW worker is not to blame. We also talk about why paying living and fair wages to UAW autoworkers is not going to send production overseas.
