    Here is some good news

    Heavy-duty diesel engine maker Cummins Inc. said it will add about 500 professional employees, many of them engineers, over the next two years.
    The workers will be added to the company’s Columbus, Ind., headquarters, where Cummins said it also will lease a new office building.
    Cummins currently has about 5,500 employees in Columbus, along with an additional 900 contract workers, the company said in a statement.
    The new space will allow Cummins to consolidate its employees in fewer locations and make room for new workers expected as part of its growth plans.
    Cummins said last year it would add 600 more workers at a light-duty diesel engine plant in Columbus.
