Most of these will be assembly line jobs, but 40 salaried jobs are also included. There's even discussion of possibly adding a 3rd shift [[depending on how successful the 2 new vehicles to be built at the plant end up being).
Great news for the city and those looking for work!

GM announced that one of them will be the Cadillac CT6.Quote:

This is great news for the region. More good paying jobs, and after the union negotiations they'll be even better paying.

hopefully more people can be hired locally.
So the latest update is that they have enough applicants to fill the openings at Detroit-Hamtramck.
