According to your link:
2,400 of those jobs are in "North America"...Some of them are in the U.S. Mostly in managerial positions. 500 of them in the U.S. this week and another 300 over the summer in the U.S. for a total of EIGHT HUNDRED in the U.S. "Ford says the job cuts eliminate bureaucracy and increase the number of workers reporting to each manager" So yeah..."Make America Great Again" doesn't mean making Ford jobs in other countries "great". Matter of fact, the tax cuts are designed to bring jobs BACK to the U.S. Also...you should be happy. All the major car manufacturers are restructuring to begin a massive push to electric cars. That's going to require layoffs and plant closings at current factory's. Then the rebuilding and retooling of those factories (which means JOBS). And then finally the re-opening and re-hiring of the factories to make electric cars. Think it through. The economy is roaring. It's the perfect time to make these moves and spend the money needed to move from gas cars to electric cars. |

As a car guy, I know a thing or two about this. It has nothing to do with tariffs. Ford has only 2 viable models. The mustang and the F150. They are dropping car models and sticking with the 2. They are scape goating about tariffs. It’s simply that ford sucks and can only sell 2 models. Same with chevy.

Also Trump still has not matched Obama's job creation numbers so if they were bad under Obama then why is less now MAGA? If it's all so great, then why are all these farmers going bankrupt? |

obama +8.9 million over 8 years
trump +4.7 million in his first 2 years and farmers are going bankrupt for many reasons. the main being that for the most part, this country eats mass produced garbage “food”. personally speaking, i think if we cannot ban religion altogether, we should start taxing the shit out of it, and make farmers (as well as teachers, police and firefighters) tax exempt. |

"Ford faces pressure to improve its profitability. Its profit margin has lagged those of some competitors. It has announced the costs of commodities it buys, such as steel and aluminum, have increased about $1 billion annually after tariffs were imposed on those products." Trump's trade war is causing America's second largest car company to cut 10% of it's workforce. This comes after GM announced last November they are cutting 15% of their staff. Quote:

Obviously most of you have never employed anyone and were/are employees or in 1-2 man bands. So let me inform you of what goes on in the real world.
Th biggest cost for a company is most likely employment, therefore cutting a workforce while increasing productivity is something senior management want to do what ever party is in office. Blaming one President for it is stupid, especially when for 50 years all Presidents have stood by and done nothing while millions were lost to the 3rd world. Also let's not forget how many jobs were lost in the car industry to automation. Now Ford decide to cut more. |

The old high cost economies of the west have a trade imbalance with the low cost east. I wonder why ? But no, Trump says that China is ripping off the US. What the west actually needs to do is find and make products that the Chinese market wants. China - a vast rapidly growing market. You would have thought that the great deal maker would be seeing opportunities, not bogey men.
