GM Announces 800 New Jobs On Third Shift at TX SUV Plant
General Motors announced plans Friday to add a third shift at its SUV plant in Arlington, Texas, as the company continues to ramp up production after deep cuts during the financial crisis.
The additional shift will keep the facility running around the clock, and will generate roughly 800 additional jobs, GM (GM, Fortune 500) said.
The Arlington plant produces Chevrolet Tahoes and Suburbans, GMC Yukons and Cadillac Escalades. GM said demand for full-size SUVs remains "stable," though sales of the Escalade, Yukon and Tahoe are down so far in 2012 versus last year.
