En Detroit se están presentando muchos modelos, pero también están conociéndose noticias que sinceramente son motivo de alegría si tenemos en cuenta que vivimos una época complicada en lo que se refiere a economía y trabajo.
La noticia en cuestión es que Ford ha anunciado que de aquí a dos años contratará unos 7000 nuevos empleados para cubrir las necesidades de sus fábricas en Estados Unidos, dando trabajo a gente que estará parada.
Esperemos que el resto de marcas puedan sumarse a iniciativas como esta de Ford. La nota de prensa que he recibido la tenéis tras el salto -en inglés-.

-Ford will add more than 7,000 new hourly and salaried jobs between this year and next in the United States

DETROIT, Jan. 10, 2011 – Ford Motor Company today announced it will add 7,000 new hourly and salaried jobs between this year and next in the United States.
This year alone, Ford is adding nearly 4,000 hourly jobs at several of its U.S. plants, including 1,800 at Louisville Assembly Plant, which is preparing to launch the next-generation Ford Escape late in the year. Ford also will add 750 salaried engineering jobs in product development and manufacturing. Next year, Ford expects to add at least 2,500 more new manufacturing positions.
“Ford is committed to American manufacturing, and we are on a path to add more than 7,000 American workers over the next two years as we continue to grow our product lineup,” said Mark Fields, Ford president of The Americas. “Working with our partners, including the UAW, Ford is finding competitive ways to engineer and build even more high-quality, fuel-efficient vehicles with technologies American consumers really want.”
Ford is recruiting salaried engineers specializing in batteries, system controls, software and energy storage to work on electric vehicles in Detroit and eight other cities including Boston; Chicago; Cincinnati; Columbus, Ohio; Milwaukee; Raleigh and Durham, N.C.; and San Jose, Calif. This recruitment launches at the 2011 North American International Auto Show during industry preview days on Jan. 12 and Jan. 13.
