Interesting viewpoint

A Tennessean news article says that the large number of possible jobs might not be as glorious as some are hyping.

Nissan's plans to create up to 1,300 jobs to build electric cars and batteries don't necessarily mean more overall employees at the Smyrna factory.

More than 5,000 workers, including about 4,000 employed by Nissan, remain at the plant after voluntary buyouts, and it's difficult to say what the net gain or loss will be by 2012 when the company expects to launch production of the EV emissions-free vehicles, a Nissan official said.

It will create new jobs, but the article implies the number of NEW hires might not be there.
