Most GM production workers make about $25 per hour. The TOP pay as negotiated in the last contract is about $40 per hour (for hourly supervisors and hourly people with special skills). $25 per hour (~$50,000 per year) is not what I would call “high middle class”.

Then there are hundreds of automotive USA tier 2 suppliers. Production workers in these facilities currently earn $16 or $17 per hour.
