The electric vehicle industry is a component of the automotive industry, and this a part of the manufacturing industry. An automotive engineer is a specialist in the design, manufacture, and operation of all the systems that ensure the proper functioning of motor vehicles. The objective of this research is to analyze the educational structure of the careers related to the automotive industry with an emphasis on electric vehicles, as well as to measure the unemployment rate of this industry during the economic crisis generated by COVID-19. The methodology proposes to apply a multiple econometric regression using time series integrating a dummy variable to quantify the effect of the economic crisis on employment in the electric vehicle industry, where the previous results indicate a considerable reduction in employment in this industry.

Keywords : Automotive industry; electric vehicles; employment; education.
