We must get rid of the arrogance, false perceptions and feelings that everything will be OK simply because we are America - Immelt said at the Detroit Economic Club meeting. - We have lost their competitive advantages, and it hit middle class .

United States should take in the production of about 20% of the labor force, double the current level, he said. His company, which is the world's largest manufacturer of aircraft engines and turbines, on Friday announced that it will build in the suburbs of Detroit new scientific and production center, which will be 1.1 thousand people. This decision reflects a belief Immelta that GE, like many other American companies that passed too many important technological processes, and outsourced to foreign entities.

This is a lesson learned GE, whose shares in the past year have lost 58% because of falling profits in the financial unit of GE Capital.
