الملخص

The study aims at identifying the factors influencing the wages in the U.S Auto Industry during the period (1987-2014), by analyzing the changes and problems suffered by this industry. On the basis of this analysis, a standardized model was built, depending on multiple regression analysis to define the effects of the independent variables: the market share of domestic producers, the number of workers belonging to (UAW), real labour productivity per hour, the ratio of workers in the Motor vehicle manufacturing branch, on the dependent variable which is the average real wage of workers in the U.S auto industry, by adding the control variable: unemployment rate in the U.S. The result was the existence of a statistic significant relationship between the market share of domestic producers, the number of workers belonging to (UAW), real labour productivity per hour, the ratio of workers in the Motor vehicle manufacturing branch and the average real wage in the US Auto Industry. While the unemployment rate did not have a significant relationship.
