GE CEO Immelt’s Job Creation Skill

From Market Talk:

Interesting to hear GE CEO Jeff Immelt will chair a new White House jobs panel tasked with finding ways to grow private-sector jobs. He runs a big company, but Immelt has shown more skill at cutting jobs, frankly, than creating.

GE finished 2009 with 18,000 fewer US workers than it had at the end of 2008, and US headcount is down 31,000 since Immelt’s first full year in 2002. During his tenure, GE workers based in the US as a percentage of total employees has fallen to 44% from 52%.
