Ford plans to add 6,200 jobs in Ohio, Michigan and Missouri

Associated Press  

AVON LAKE, Ohio — Ford will add 6,200 factory jobs in Michigan, Missouri and Ohio as it prepares to build more electric vehicles and roll out two redesigned combustion-engine models. Although studies show that automakers will need fewer workers to build electric vehicles because there are fewer moving parts, it doesn’t necessarily mean big layoffs down the road, Dziczek said. “It’s hard to say what the employment level needs to be.” Automakers have been converting temporary workers to full-time status with higher pay to attract entry-level workers during the recent labor shortage, Dziczek said. Ford’s decision to build three battery plants and one new assembly plant in Kentucky and Tennessee last year raised questions about the company’s manufacturing commitment to its home state and region.
