The ABC News "Made in America" team has been working this week with the Stewart family of Hillsdale, New Jersey as they look for a new car. We asked, which car would create more jobs, an American car made in the United States, or a "foreign" car that is also made here.

We followed the Stewarts as they went to check out the Toyota Camry and the Ford Escape, two of the most popular cars in the country. The Camry is the top-selling family sedan in the country, while the Escape is the most popular compact SUV in America.

The U.S. brand that creates the most American jobs? The Ford Escape, which creates 13 jobs for every 100 cars sold, based on 2010 sales figures and company supplied information on how many workers actually man the assembly lines.

That is good, but doesn't top the Kentucky-built Toyota, which creates 20 U.S. jobs for every 100 cars sold.

Interesting info, check your cars. Woohoo, mine at 77% came close to matching the Camrys 80% MiA...compared to Escapes 65%.
