Undoubtably the Ontario auto industry was hit the hardest in the recent recession, in fact much of the Canadian auto industry has been hurting since the middle of the decade. For instance GM had not hired new employees since 2002, however announced Tuesday GM is going to hire three hundred new employees to keep up with the demand for their new line of vehicles. This announcement follows GM recalling 400 workers to help work on the assembly lines.

The new employees will be on the assembly line at the Oshawa plant, where the popular Impala had been made for several years, and the latest version of the Camaro muscle car.

Although this is a step in the right direction GM still has a long way to go in order to be back to their pre-recession as GM`s workforce is still only half the twenty thousand that were employeed in 2005.
