Job creation at its best

By Richard K. Barry 

I wonder if Romney will just lie now about having said we should let Detroit go bankrupt? I’m waiting for it.

Latest news is that GM is announcing the creation of 2,000 new jobs in Michigan, beginning with up to 1,500 at a new information technology center in Warren.

As The Detroit News reports:

It’s unclear where GM would add the other 500 jobs, but the state says the innovation center is the first of three projects the company will announce. 

GM will invest $300 million combined for the three. The state said GM plans no major investment spending on the information technology center; it will be housed in an existing building undergoing renovation on the Warren Tech Center campus. 

The center will hire 1,500 new employees within four years and will add to information technology employment already in Warren, Randy Mott, GM’s vice president of information technology and chief information officer, said in a Friday interview.

Good call, Mr. President.
