Ford is planning to cut as many as 8000 jobs from its Ford Blue division, which produces the company's ICE vehicles1. The company is looking to cut $3 billion in operational costs from its gas-powered business to invest more money into EV development1. In addition, Ford announced that 2,000 full-time salaried workers would be let go along with another 1,000 contract workers2. The cuts represent about 6% of the 31,000 full-time salaried work force in the U.S. and Canada2.
