Ford's 'Way Forward' Ends in Mexico
$9.2 Billion investment to create 150,000 Mexican Jobs

A disgruntled Ford employee leaked a memo to the Oakland Press outlining Ford's strategy for vastly expanding its already substantial operation in Mexico. The five-year plan outlined in the document proposed an investment of $9.2 billion in the expansion, and projected an employment increase of 150,000 workers, though it was not clear whether that was just Ford workers or workers from Ford and indirect economic expansion. Apparently, the document was intended, in part to entice Mexican Government investment in the project.
