I was trying to find online how much the workforce is shrinking each year due to layoffs, and then I found this: Ford Motor Company had 177,000 employees as of December 31, 2023. The number of employees increased by 4,000 or 2.31% compared to the previous year.
How is this even possible? I know we've had major layoffs last year as well as this. Why in the world did we do major hiring as well?

Farley, can you see a correlation, even a tiny bit, with outsourcing jobs and pushing back production at MAP? Maybe? No? OK.
Yep, all LCC.
4,000 in India, Mexico and China
@ruh+1w8pttWQ take a long walk off a short pier.
3 in a LCC for every 1 let go in US.
Ford has been hiring in growth areas, primarily in Model e. This is widely known and been discussed in this forum before.
Legacy areas (Blue, Industrial, etc.) are steady or shrinking in resources as BEV and digital services take hold.
