From the article you cite:

"The GM and Chrysler bailouts saved more than 1 million jobs, the Center for Automotive Research said in 2010, including both GM and Chrysler workers and employees of the companies' suppliers. The actions also prevented the loss of $96.5 billion of personal income in 2009 and 2010, the Center estimated, and let the government save a combined $28.6 billion by reducing entitlement spending on unemployed workers and collecting taxes on wages of those still working."
