The American auto industry has been on a steady road of recovery over the last few years, and it’s shifting into high gear when it comes to hiring.
The Big Three, Ford (F), General Motors (GM) and Chrysler all report looking to add engineers, technicians and factory workers to their payrolls to help roll out the next generation of products. What’s more, American automakers are spending major dough on floor space and new equipment as car demand picks up in the U.S.
Demand was evident in May's car sales data, which saw gains across the board for automakers. Sales figures from Ford, GM, Chrysler and Toyota (TM) combined were up 7% from May 2012, and 12% from April sales totals. Overall U.S. vehicle sales came in at $15.3 million for May an 8% increase from the same time a year prior.
