【美国】福特称裁员2万报道不实

Ford's '20,000' layoff number - cited by Challenger's jobs report - is wildly inaccurate

Ford is not laying off 20,000 of its workers, a spokesperson for the auto company told CNBC on Thursday.

Challenger, Gray & Christmas on Thursday reported the number of jobs employers planned to cut in May had jumped, citing massive layoffs at Ford. The widely followed report led with a claim that the auto industry announced 20,271 job cuts for the month, with the majority of those stemming from Ford.

On Friday, the consultancy firm corrected its error, saying planned layoffs dropped to 33,092 in the month from the 51,692 initially reported.

In its report Thursday, Challenger CEO John A. Challenger said: "Ford's announcement of 20,000 global layoffs to streamline and cut costs is a typical strategy of large corporations who need to pivot to stay competitive."

However, Ford told CNBC it never confirmed the 20,000 number with any media source.

In fact, the actual number is more like 1,400 jobs being eliminated, according to a Ford spokesperson. Challenger used that figure in its corrected report Friday.

    福特汽车公司的发言人在星期四告诉CNBC，目前福特汽车公司并未进行裁员行动。

    此前Challenger, Gray & Christmas在周四报道说，由于福特裁员计划扩张，因此公司内部可能会出线大规模的裁员。此后有多家媒体报道了类似的消息，称汽车行业宣布本月份裁员人数为20271人，其中大部分来自福特。

    Challenger, Gray & Christmas在上周五修正了错误，称将最初报告的裁员人数51692人修正为33092人。

    挑战者首席执行官John A. Challenger在周四的报告中表示："福特公司宣布裁员2万人，旨在简化和降低成本，这是大型企业的一个典型战略，需要转向保持竞争力。"

    不过，福特告诉CNBC，它从来没有向任何媒体证实过有20000人的裁员行动。

    福特发言人说，实际裁员人数约为1400人。Challenger, Gray & Christmas则在上周五在其修正的报告中使用了这个数字。
