I believe that General Motors has shed more than a quarter-million workers since 1985, and there is absolutely no evidence that they fired the right people. If you grew up in the Detroit area, as I did, the automobile companies were always there, always ready to provide summer work for college students, always ready to hire a bunch of engineers and general-studies graduates from the Midwestern universities, and always paying superior wages and benefits to unskilled workers. Very few of these young men went to work at Ford or GM to create great cars… – David E. Davis, Winding Road
