General Motors To Add 2,000 Jobs In Michigan

General Motors Co. and the state are expected to announce today that GM will create 2,000 new jobs in Michigan, beginning with up to 1,500 at a new information technology innovation center in Warren.

The automaker and the Governor's Office are expected to make formal announcements later today.

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.

Isn't this just amalgamating their IT and shuffling jobs around? The jobs may be new to Michigan but how many jobs were lost in other states as a result?

My understanding is that Hewlett Packard (formerly EDS) was the vendor of choice for IT work at GM. They are now insourcing the IT departments.

So what are those EDS people doing now that they aren't doing GM work? Steal from your right hand to give to your left?

Net job gain of 500 if its true, 0 if history is an accurate indicator.
