ALISON KOSIK, CNN BUSINESS CORRESPONDENT: Good morning, I'm Alison Kosik with your Cnn business. Thousands of General Motors employees are beginning their week without jobs. Layoffs for about 4,000 salaried workers at GM are due to start day. The layoffs are part of a 15 percent reduction the automaker first announced back in November. At the same time, it had announced plans to close four U.S. plants as well as a fifth in Canada. The job cuts and plant closings are part of ongoing cost reductions to free up $6 billion annually to invest in electric and self-driving vehicles. The layoffs come as President Trump is due to tout his economic successes during Tuesday's State of the Union address. A senior administration official said the speech's theme would be "Choosing Greatness". Overall, the president is presiding over a strong American economy. Friday's jobs report beat expectations, showing more than 300,000 jobs were created last month, but trade tensions and worries about the global economy, that has all led to some companies kind of rethinking their business plans and strategies and has sparked concerns about the risk of a slowdown. I'm going to throw it back to Dave and Kaylee in Atlanta. Good morning to you again.</s>BRIGGS: Alison, thanks, good to see you.
