(CNN) General Motors recently announced that it would be shutting down five car factories in the United States and Canada and cutting 14,000 jobs. GM said at the time that factory workers would be offered jobs at other facilities where production is being increased and on Friday it offered an update on how things are going. Of the jobs GM plans to cut, 2,800 are hourly employees in the United States. The US plants GM is shutting down are in Michigan, Ohio, and Maryland. GM also said last month that Canadian workers would be offered jobs at other plants in that country.
