Yes right around 7,000 according to the Greenville News.

Are these contingency workers or workers hired directly through BMW?

The link says these will be contingency workers but that they will be hiring full-time some contingency workers already on staff.

I think BMW hires everyone as contract worker / contingency worker at first, then moves them into permanent employees.

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.
