Good thing we bailed out Detroit
Via Bloomberg:
Ford Motor Co. (F) plans to add 11,000 jobs in the U.S. and Asia in 2014, with more than half of those hires coming in the latter region where the company is scheduled to open two factories.
Ford plans to hire about 6,000 people in Asia, most of them as hourly employees, according to a statement yesterday. The automaker is on track to open its Changan Ford Assembly Plant No. 3 and Changan Transmission Plant in Chongqing, China, in 2014, the company said.
Ford’s Asia Pacific Africa unit sold its 1 millionth vehicle of the year in October, the Dearborn, Michigan-based company said. The automaker is on pace for 6 million sales globally in 2013.
