Well, almost 800 nationwide, 40 in Michigan, 3 within a 15 minute drive from my house. They estimate an average of 50 employees per dealership. That means close to 40,000 NEW unemployed next month across the US. That doesn't include the unemployed that will come from the companies that do business with those dealers.
