Akerson: GM May Pay Dividend in 2014

General Motors Co. CEO Dan Akerman says the company has built up enough "bandwidth" in the form of cash and a strengthened balance sheet to consider paying a dividend next year, The Wall Street Journal reports.

Akerson says GM can and will begin to offer more competitive salaries next year, now that such payments are no longer capped by the U.S. Dept. of the Treasury.
