According to a 2012 Forbes article GM employed just under 75K in the U.S. and that comes to $133,333 per job.
For those insisting GM would have gone completely under if allowed to file bankruptcy, I challenge you to find a grocery store not selling Hostess ho-ho's or twinkies despite Hostess' bankruptcy.
Meanwhile McDonalds' CEO is criticized.

Yes. They lost 10 billion or 10 million a day over the 3 years they held this stock … BUT … they saved 1 million immediate jobs and countless related jobs (parts suppliers, driver and other services) and kept a huge crater from developing in the economy at a time when we could least absorb it. Those million jobs also bought goods and services of other companies no doubt saving additional jobs. It is unbalanced to say they/we lost 10 billion. The revenue from those jobs and sales that were saved went to the Fed via taxes.
