Impact on Missouri: The Center for Automotive Research (CAR) conducted a study based on 2015 data and found:
- Direct employees (manufacturing-related and new vehicle jobs) earned $476 million in payroll
- After taxes, their disposable personal income totaled $356 million, meaning that money was available to be spent in the Missouri economy
- When those direct employees are combined with jobs at companies that supply TMMMO as well as spinoff jobs, Toyota is estimated to support 10,000 jobs in Missouri
Community investment: Toyota has donated more than $2.7 million to local non-profits in Missouri to meet critical needs and improve the quality of life in our plant communities.
