The filing states the total and the U.S. share and revenue by segment, so trucks, parts and finance take their shares by description and revenue (c), said so.
The figures on this page come from the company's own annual report and from BLS staffing patterns for its industries, never from a roster. They are estimates with a stated method. Nothing here says what the company will do: within reach is not a forecast of jobs lost or of savings.
