General Motors is offering buyouts

to most of its U.S. salaried workforce and some global executives in an effort to trim costs as it makes the transition to electric vehicles. The Detroit automaker wouldn’t say how many workers it is targeting but confirmed that the move is aimed at accelerating attrition to meet a previously announced goal of $2 billion in cost cuts by the end of next year.

GM has about 58,000 salaried workers in the United States. Offers will go to white-collar employees with at least five years of service and global executives who have been with the company at least two years.
