Ford To Hire 11,000 Workers

Ford has announced plans to hire 11,000 workers in the US and Asia in 2014 as part of a global expansion plan. Ford intends to launch 23 new vehicles around the world next year, more than double the number released in 2013.

The company says it will be the fastest expansion in 50 years, and includes the new Lincoln MKC and all-new Transit family of commercial vehicles. About 5,000 workers will be hired in the US and 6,000 in Asia, where Ford is opening two plants in China next year.

The recruitment drive represents an increase of close to 7% of Ford’s total workforce and is the biggest hiring push the firm has made since 2000. Ford’s president of the Americas, John Hinrichs, made the announcement at an event introducing a new research vehicle testing driverless technology.
