The point of my post was that 12,600 direct employees of GM were working in Ohio in 2009, and the employment multiplier effect added about 14,800 other jobs in the local communities.
That's nearly 30,000 jobs and almost as many families directly related to GM (only).
I didn't read that as jobs added TO the initial 12,600. My bad, apparently.

What point(s) are you making... just adding new information, or
- that white collar employees are/were making too much ?
- that GM can/should not to pay bonuses to white collar workers ?
- that the bailout of the automotive industry was wrong ?
- that GM should have gone bankrupt and all those jobs be lost ?
- that there is some sort of tax skullduggery going on ?
I do not know the answers. I am asking those same questions.
To your last point regarding the taxes, I just recently learned that their tax structure was altered in the bailout.
What effect it had, I do not know.
