Notice in the first full paragraph it mentions that a single auto factory usually employed 55-65K each. Nowadays an auto factory is considered to be huge if it employs 5K or 6K, and most are more along the lines of 2 or 3K. And I'm pretty sure they churn out more cars per factory per year than the circa 1930 ones did.

a plexus of diversified manufacturing! thats awesome.
