Flextronics to hire over 6 ,000 Chinese workers this month

Electronics manufacturing giant Flextronics International said
Tuesday it will hire more than 6 ,000 migrant workers in mainland
China this month because of a rise in demand ahead of Christmas. The
company will also take on an additional 1 , 000 workers in the next
two months, Valerie Kurniawan, senior communications director for
Flextronics Asia, told AFP. "The demand is coming from all over the
group, it's all segments and industries," Kurniawan said. Flextronics
makes parts and equipment for the automotive and mobile phone
industries among others and its clients include Hewlett-Packard,
Motorola and Microsoft Corp. The company's latest hiring spree has
focused on its Zhuhai Industrial Park in the Pearl River Delta in the
south of the country.
