Over 1,000 Jobs Added To Michigan Jeep Plant

The Associated Press reports that Chrysler is about to give the Michigan economy a jump start. The automaker announced Friday that it will be adding 1,100 new jobs to its Jeep Grand Cherokee production team. The new vehicle, according to Chrysler, is more efficient and the car maker expects good sales.

Earlier today, the Ford Company announced that it would refurbish two of its plants in the Detroit area. Ford plans to utilize the factories to build parts for its hybrid and electric cars. The plan would create 200 jobs.

Both announcements spell good news for Michigan’s ailing economy. Michigan currently has the highest unemployment rate in the nation at 14 percent.

Testimonial of the Week

What I liked about the service is that it had such a comprehensive collection of jobs! I was using a number of sites previously and this took up so much time, but in joining EmploymentCrossing, I was able to stop going from site to site and was able to find everything I needed on EmploymentCrossing.
