Labor and Industry Group
Kristin Dziczek, Group Director

The Labor and Industry Group performs analysis of the automotive industry's employment, productivity, wages, benefits, education and training, occupations, labor agreements, plant locations, and capacity utilization, as well as forecasting and modeling employment and market demand. The group's research focuses on developing a better understanding of developments in human resource and education issues and policies, as well as tracking critical industry information and government data related to the existing automotive endowment, production, global competitiveness, trade, markets and automotive development in emerging economies. This group also administers the Program for Automotive Labor and Education, a partnership of industry, labor, education, training, workforce development and government dedicated to meeting the automotive workforce needs of tomorrow.
