Jack Welch, the former CEO of General Electric, will no longer contribute to Fortune magazine after he questioned whether the Obama administration had meddled with the jobs report that came out Friday, a senior editor at Fortune announced Tuesday.
Welch said he will no longer contribute to Fortune following critical coverage of the former CEO of General Electric, saying he would get better “traction” elsewhere.
Welch’s colleagues at Fortune had not agreed with Welch’s assessment of the jobs report. “I think it’s exactly the opposite of what Jack Welch is saying,” Andy Serwer, Fortune’s executive editor, said Monday on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.” “Things are actually improving.”
On Tuesday, Fortune ran an article criticizing Welch having a bad jobs record at GE.
