What I don't get is why people think all those people who work for GM will be unemployed all a sudden without any prospect of getting a job.

If GM is selling 126,000 cars per month, and they go bankrupt, someone HAS to fill that whole. Be that Ford, Toyota....any other car company, someone has to make 126,000 more cars.

In other words, a different company will either buy out GM, restructure everything, and start building cars....giving a lot of people work, or those people will be hired by Ford, Toyota, etc, etc.....to work for them to fill the demand for cars.
