Ford, others step up hiring to meet demand
DETROIT (AP) - Ford says it plans to hire 2,200 engineers, computer programmers and other white-collar workers this year as U.S. demand for new vehicles picks up.
That's in addition to the 8,100 salaried and hourly jobs Ford added in the U.S. last year as it increased production and introduced new cars. U.S. car and truck sales rose 13 percent to 14.5 million in 2012, the highest level in five years.
Ford will use social media to find tech-savvy candidates. It's also stepping up recruitment of military veterans.
Honda says it plans to create 50 new jobs in Ohio when it starts building the new hybrid Accord sedan there later this year.
And Nissan announced it will hire 400 people by the end of next year to make the Murano crossover in Mississippi.

Glad to see a company that did not take any hand outs from the government doing so well. Funny how those who did suckle off the government are again showing signs of failing.....
 @JeepRex and those business you are talking about...
those CEOs are trying to steal money again....more bonuses
for themselves only !
 @scychan Yup, unless their umbilical cord gets cut, they will continue to do so.
I don't know who came up with the design or who approved it, but it looks like a damn gold fish with it's mouth open. I though some of the other cars out there looked bad, but this is near number 1 for the ugly award. A couple others out there look like vacuum cleaners in heat.
