Nissan is to build a new compact model, called the Invitation, at its Sunderland factory. The announcement was made at the Geneva motor show in Switzerland.

The Japanese carmaker said that its £125m investment would create 2,000 jobs. The government is supporting the project with a £9.3m grant.

Re: Some good news for a change

very good news although worries of vauxhall motors at elsmere might dampen the car industry although Cable confident it wont close which would be another.

With us in 7th now brazil overtook us we need to get jobs.

We still not doing enough to sort this out.

I think car plant bigger news out the 2 and tesco as its a manufacturing job creation something which this country needs over and over.

We need to improve our export balance I think tesco is down to all the bad press they had over workfare. Think 20,000 not enough to compensation of this should creat 5 times that to employ those on workfare they taken.

Hell small doses on there part at least good news its new jobs you cant snub it but wished they gone further.

well yes I dont think it would hurt them considerong the turnover and I believe those who can increase job market should. Yes those who cant out there you would'nt expect them too. However too much is going to bosses shareholders which could created jobs.

I hope we actually seeing more sensible concious atitude to employing workers from bottom to higher level. Next is to see that same conscious to accept wages need to be much better from bottom to higher.

The only way the world will recover is through jobs and people having money in there pocket spending on goods.

Its not rocket science why the world in mess it needs people with influence to admit the failing is lack decent wage and job culling.

All very good in theory but the inescapable truth is that wage costs adversely affect competitveness and drive jobs away from the UK to places like China, India and Brazil. This is the very reason the UK has haemorrhaged jobs over the decades. Of course paying employees more is a worthy aim but employing more staff than is necessary with higher wages will simply result in more job losses. Have a look at working conditions and pay rates in the likes of China and India and you will see why. Like it or not we're competing with these countries and unless you're someone who only ever buys British, consciously invests in business for a low return and employs British (as opposed to migrant) tradesmen at above the going rate out of generosity, you're just as much a part of the problem as the rest of us.

It's all very well banging on about reducing profits and dividends but those profits and dividends are what in large part pay our pensions.

thats the problem its housing markets/land from south is massive issue to why thats happening wages have to disgracefully high to support living standards. Needs brave government to turn this around food house prices should be same all over. Tackle the fundemental dear britain we turn it around.

The pensions thing always been stupid to be overly reliant on russian roulette to make pensions viable.

New way doing it should be setup one less reliant on risks and stocks more with part tax, company, individual. I think similar public sector way I always thought companies should maybe cough up more toward the pension than they currently do. I aint expect so it might not work but its clear russian roulette style even worse considering the black hole.

Priority get the economy working again that means governments, business, investors work together to get money into the system via wages, jobs at the bottom and further up. without money circulation life support is cut this the crux we are in. Pensions is our last thing we need to be mindfull sadly bigger fish is world economy death rolling.

Re: Some good news for a change

Sorry haven't got a clue what you're on about.

You type like you'd sound if you were addressing an audience through an intermittent microphone.

I think you might have a different view about pensions if you were currently reliant on one though.
