Engineers' work goes overseas, GM says

The Detriot Free Press reports:

General Motors Corp. will cut its engineering staff in Michigan for a second time later this month as it continues to shift some work to emerging markets such as Brazil, where GM is hiring engineers to develop the next-generation small pickup.

The job cuts, following last week's forced layoffs of hundreds of GM white-collar workers, will be the last round for the engineering department, and Michigan will continue to be home of GM's largest engineering center, a top GM official said Wednesday.

Too bad Michigan is an anti-business place.They might have kept those jobs.
