Contributions to New Jersey’s Economy

New Jersey’s automotive retail industry is the strongest part of the State’s retail economy.

New Jersey’s automotive retail industry is the strongest part of the State’s retail economy. In 2022, New Jersey’s franchised car and truck retailers sold nearly 390,000 new vehicles and generated $40.1 billion in vehicle, parts and service sales. The industry also collected more than $2 billion in State and local taxes. In addition, more than 71,000 individuals are either directly employed or work in jobs supported by New Jersey’s 500 franchised new car and truck dealerships. These are good-paying, local jobs that can’t be outsourced.

Neighborhood new car dealers invest in their communities and collectively support hundreds of worthwhile charitable causes, from little league baseball teams, local hospitals, and everything in between.
