This is the biggest increase of salaried workers for Ford in the last 10 years, and it is all a part of Ford's contract commitment to the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/tag/uaw/">United Auto Workers</a> union to bring 12,000 new jobs to the US by 2015.<br /><br />There were no specifics as to where in the US these job openings will be, but Ford did reiterate that it will be spending $773 million on equipment upgrades and capacity expansion at six plants located in southeast Michigan; as a whole, Ford is investing a total of $6.2 billion to its US assembly plants over the next couple years. According to recently appointed president of the Americas Joe Hinrichs, the new jobs will be focused on areas such as engineering, manufacturing and computer software. Ford will post its job openings online at <a href="http://www.careers.ford.com/">careers.ford.com</a>, and it will also use social media sites like <a href="https://www.facebook.com/FordMotorCompanyCareers">Facebook</a> and <a href="http://twitter.com/FordCareers">Twitter</a> to recruit new workers, including military veterans.<br /><br /><a href="/2013/01/11/ford-hiring-2-200-salaried-us-workers-this-year/#continued">Scroll down</a> for more about Ford's planned job growth as well as how to go about applying for said openings.<p><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2013/01/11/ford-hiring-2-200-salaried-us-workers-this-year/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Ford hiring 2,200 salaried US workers this year</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2013/01/11/ford-hiring-2-200-salaried-us-workers-this-year/">Ford hiring 2,200 salaried US workers this year</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.autoblog.com">Autoblog</a> on Fri, 11 Jan 2013 00:01:00 EST.
