Daimler adding 1,000 to payroll next year ]]>http://www.autoblog.com/2008/10/12/what-recession-daimler-adding-1-000-to-payroll-next-year/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/10/12/what-recession-daimler-adding-1-000-to-payroll-next-year/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/10/12/what-recession-daimler-adding-1-000-to-payroll-next-year/#commentsFiled under: ,



The automotive industry is reeling under serious financial woes, plant closings and job cuts, so news that Daimler AG will be adding 1,000 new people to its payroll next year comes as a bit of a shock. The new jobs will be added globally, with 500 positions going to Daimler's headquarters in Stuttgart, and the rest being distributed around the world. These new positions will reportedly train the automaker's next generation of workers, which are entering the industry at a time when expertise in complex developing technologies are essential for survival. Even with the added jobs, Daimler can't cut any positions until 2012 because of an agreement already in place with its employees. Just like every other automaker, it's hoping to weather the rough time in between by focusing on efficiencies and flexibility wherever possible. So that's one piece of good automotive news, now let's get to work on those stock prices.
