Ford to add 2,200 salaried U.S. workers this year - Automobile News

Ford says the boost in manpower is needed to keep up with the company's expanding engineering and manufacturing operations.



"Our One Ford plan is designed to create profitable growth, and our new hiring is a direct result of our plan working," said Joe Hinrichs, Ford president of The Americas. "As we expand our product lineup of fuel-efficient vehicles, we need more people in critical areas : such as in a range of engineering activities, vehicle production, computer software and other IT functions : to ensure we deliver the vehicles people want and value."

In order to lure more "technology-savvy" workers to fill the 2,200 positions, Ford plans to advertise the openings on social media sites such as Facebook and Twitter.

Ford added 8,100 combined hourly and salaried jobs in the U.S. last year, putting the company over halfway to its goal of hiring 12,000 new hourly workers here by 2015. /* @Himanshu 09-01-2013 New code to work with br tag, p tag and /n */ div.post-content1{ color: #000000; font-family: Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.333em; margin-bottom: 16px; margin-top: 10px; } /* @Himanshu 09-01-2013 New code to work with br tag, p tag and /n */ div.post-content1 ul li { list-style:disc !important; margin-left:20px; color:#000000; } div.post-content1 ol li { list-style-type: decimal !important; margin-left:20px; color:#000000; } #editorial_graph ul li { list-style:none !important; margin-left:0px; }
