GE Adding Jobs In Circleville

General Electric says it will add jobs at two Ohio factories and one in Illinois to meet increased demand for alternatives to traditional incandescent light bulbs. GE says it will add 70 jobs in Bucyrus, 50 in Circleville and 30 in Illinois. The company says demand has been unexpectedly high as incandescent bulbs are phased out through federally mandated energy-efficiency requirements.
