BMW may hire 20 or so people every 4 years or so. That is to just keep people interested in employment there. I worked there for ten years and left. I was a permenant associate. All ten years were spent on B shift from 8 at night to 6:40 am. My best advice to anyone who wants employment there is to keep looking for permenant work. I now work for another up and coming company in the upstate. BMW helped me get my foot in the door, I'm sure of that. All said and done I'm glad I left. Expect to get laid off with little to no notice when volume drops. Good Luck, hope this helps in your decisions.
Ellagrace, you seem to be forgetting BMW has opened an entire second factory / production line with the addition of the X3 and the crossover. They are hiring to fill jobs for the additional volume. Nice growth.
We're glad you found another job you like better. This news of 600 additional hires is music to some peoples ears who might not have a job.
That's good, but companies are really taking advantage of people because of this recession. Truth be known many of these companies are making more profit than they ever have.

Good for the companies.
Free enterprise should hold onto the money they make and build up a war-chest of funds......they'll need the money with the future debacle known as "Obamacare" (which hopefully will be overturned).

That's very true, but they're sitting on the $$ because they're looking ahead.... The future for businesses big & small is VERY uncertain... They and their leaders are under attack in the current political climate...

People aren't forced to take these jobs. It's their choice. People like you complain when jobs don't get created and still complain when they do. Half of the reason the economy isn't improving more quickly is because of the pessimistic attitude of the negative nancies.

What about the little guy who needs to feed his family? Do you all own businesses that are taking advantage of the little guy?
So lets tell BMW NOT to hire 600 additional people. Or better yet, lets ask BMW to close the factory and fire all 7,000 people. Talk about hurting the little guy!
BMW's average 45K salary helps the little guy. If the little guy wants to make a 6 figure income, the little guy should go to college, work hard, and go to work for BMW as a high paid manager, open his own business or go into some high paying profession.
That is the great thing about the freedom of the US. The little guy can choose to be anything he wants to be and do anything he wants to do.
