Official: More cuts for white-collar staff



KNIGHT RIDDER NEWSPAPERS
DETROIT -- General Motors Corp. will cut its white-collar engineering staff in Michigan for a second time later this month as it continues to shift some work to emerging markets such as Brazil, where GM is hiring engineers to develop the next-generation small pickup truck.
The job cuts, following last week's forced layoffs of hundreds of GM white-collar workers, will be the last round for the engineering department, a top GM official said Wednesday.
