loss of 30,000 jobs from GM.
GM's laying off 30k? When? 2005?
Perhaps your comrades at Newsmax got the numbers
switched? Most likely, they probably use the Fox graphics guys.
It’s been a while since we’ve heard good news out of Detroit, but things may starting to be looking up for the U.S. auto industry, as analysts from the Center for Automotive Research announced today that the Big Three — General Motors, Ford and Chrysler — are likely to add 30,000 hourly and salaried employees in the U.S. by 2015.
According to an article by the Detroit Free Press, the projected good news should also spread to auto manufacturers in general: total employment for all U.S. automakers and suppliers will increase over the next four years by about 28%, or from 590,000 to 756,000. We’ve still got a ways to go to achieve the great heights the U.S. industry enjoyed a few decades ago — in 1978 total employment for GM, Ford and Chrysler was at 1 million, compared to less than 200,000 in 2010 — but all indications are that the tide has turned.
From what I hear they're still hiring, reopening plants and selling more cars than they have in years.
Thanks King Obama!
