GM to add jobs, invest $100 million

ROCHESTER, N.Y.

General Motors announced Tuesday it will invest $100 million to buy equipment to make future automotive components and will add 30 jobs at its GM Components Holding Rochester Operations.

“This investment in our manufacturing operations will enable us to produce a new generation of fuel-efficient small block car and truck engines,” said Cathy Clegg, GM vice president of labor relations, said in a release.

The facility, which opened in 1939, already employs 826 hourly and salary employees, the company said.

Trade deficit falls

WASHINGTON

U.S. companies sold fewer products overseas in February, but the trade deficit narrowed because of a big decline in oil imports.

The trade deficit fell 2.6 percent to $45.8 billion in February, the Commerce Department reported Tuesday.

Exports, which had hit an all-time high in January, edged down 1.4 percent to $165.1 billion. Sales of U.S. autos, industrial machinery and food products dropped.
