General Motors is laying off about 1,000 workers worldwide, shedding costs as it tries to compete in a crowded global automobile market.

The Chevrolet logo is seen at a new and used vehicles dealership in Palatine, Ill., on March 20, 2024.

“We need to optimize for speed and excellence,” the statement said."This includes operating with efficiency, ensuring we have the right team structure and focusing on our top priorities.""We do not have specifics to share; here in Canada, the reductions impacted a small number of our Canadian team,” said Natalie Nankil, director of corporate and internal communications at GM Canada.

Through September, U.S. new EV sales are up 7.2% to about 936,000, according to Motorintelligence.com. That’s slower growth than the 47% increase in 2023. But EV sales this year are likely to surpass last year’s record of 1.19 million, and the EV share of new vehicle sales this year is 7.9%, up from 7.6% last year.

Last April, about 5,000 GM white-collar workers at General Motors took the company’s buyout offers, which the automaker said at the time was enough to avoid layoffs.
