Indiana Hummer H2 Plant to Cut 160 Jobs

About 160 people found out yesterday they will no longer have jobs at the Hummer H2 plant in Mishawaka, IN. A spokesperson for AM General said many may be able to work somewhere else at AM General, including the Humvee Plant next door, where workers are fighting to keep up with demand. Sales fell from 35,000 in 2003 to about 17,500 in 2006 according to Edmunds.com. Experts say high gas prices may affect H2 sales to some degree, but what affects the vehicle most is its market-limiting price tag.
