General Motors employed some 50,000 salaried workers in the United States in 2024. Overall, the company's U.S. headcount has dropped by roughly 2,000 people since 2023. GM's declining workforce GM's worldwide employees in 2024 stood at roughly 162,000, which was a 1,000 employee decrease from 2023. The company is transforming its workforce, and the relation between revenue and research and development expenditure indicates that the company looks towards electrification and automation of vehicles, suggesting that battery production facilities may spark reemployment. Michigan, autos, and employment Michigan is home to traditional U.S. automakers such as Ford and General Motors. These two have the largest headcount of all companies based in Michigan. More than 41,500 workers in Michigan are employed in the automotive industry, tying the socio-economic well-being of the political entity strongly to the state of the automotive industry. As American motor companies restructured in the 1960s and 1970s to match global competition, unemployment rose sharply, particularly in “Motor City” Detroit, leading to insufficient tax revenue, abandoned houses, and increased crime rates. The population of Detroit fell from over 1.8 million inhabitants in 1950 to about 670,000 in 2019.
