About 1600 temporary workers are to be engaged in the operations of Toyota Motor Company this month as part of its sales recovering agenda.
Toyota, one of the largest auto makers in the world had stopped recruiting such workers since June, 2008, as it slashed production to cope with a plunge in demand.
The company according to on-line report, August this year, had about 1,300 contract workers in Japan, and is set again to recruit other employees this October.
A statement from Toyota posited that the decision of the company to reflect gradual recovering world wide on automobile sales, was spurred by government incentives aimed at reviving the economy.
The workers would be initially hired for up to six months, as temporary employees make up an increasingly large share of the Japanese workforce, following the deregulation of the market in recent years.
Already, vehicle sales in Japan have risen since August 2009, for the first time in 13 months, while the global production for the company was down by 8.7 per cent in August, and the production stood at 508, 673 vehicles.
That number shows that it was better than a 20.1 per cent drop in July. The company also registered a domestic sale up to 92,621 in August, which is 9.5 per cent.
