Siemens Adds US Jobs and Exports

Description:A new gas turbine plant in North Carolina is generating two much needed components for the U.S. economy: more jobs and more exports. The plant, which opened Wednesday, is an expansion for Siemens' operations in Charlotte. The German owned company will directly add 1,400 jobs to North Carolina - where the unemployment rate at 10.5 percent is well above the national average. And Siemens Energy Chief Executive, Randy Zwirn, says the impact will be even greater. (1:53)
