US car manufacturers have indicated that hiring may resume as sales pick up in the rebounding economy.  The Wall Street Journal reports that all three US manufacturers commented at the Detroit auto show that hiring is on the agenda.

GM, Ford and Chrysler all saw hiring on the horizon, and even Toyota indicated it would ramp up its US production.  While this is good news for those out of work, the article does note that the hiring will still be well below the 126,000 jobs shed during the down turn.

Speaking of jobs, the White House has walked away from its claims of saving and creating jobs.  After their earlier attempts were riddled with holes and multiple media outlets mocked the staggering number of errors, the administration has simply changed the rules.  No longer will they count jobs “saved or created,” but instead focus on jobs funded.  Under the new rules, it no longer matters if the jobs are existing jobs, new jobs, or even people never in danger of losing their jobs.

Some Google employees in China may be in danger of losing a job, however.  After a cyber-attack it says was aimed at Chinese Human Rights Activists, the search provider has reversed a decision to censor Chinese content.  Google had come under fire for its decision to placate the Chinese communists by filtering and censoring search results by Chinese citizens.  Following the attack, however, Google announced it would no longer do so.  If that makes the Chinese unhappy, Google has indicated it will shutter its Chinese operations.
