General Motors said on Jan. 17 that it will be "insourcing" some 450 jobs from Mexico to Michigan to work on axle production for its next generation of full-size pickup trucks. Chief Executive Mary Barra also said the company had already relocated more than 6,000 IT jobs back to the United States.

In addition, GM is investing $1 billion in U.S. manufacturing operations that should create or secure 1,500 U.S. jobs. The company expects to add another 5,000 jobs over the next two to three years.
