2) Toyota's temporary workforce reduction / due to termination of

Kyodo News Service dated August 10 reported as follows.
It was clarified on August 10, that Toyota Motor had reduced temporary 
workforce which was about 2,300 at the end of March to about 1,800 at the 
end of July. The company had increased the number of worker due to the 
growth of the rising countries market and good demand for eco-friendly car, 
but it changed the direction to curb the employment because the eco-friendly 
car subsidy will become invalid at the end of September, and the sales seems 
to be depressed.
The maximum number of the temporary workforce of Toyota was about 11,600 in 
2005 when the achievement was expanding. However, the new hiring was 
terminated from the end of June in '08 because auto sales had gotten 
depressed due to the worldwide economic slump, and it became a decreasing 
tendency. Afterwards, the number of worker has been secured by restarting 
the adoption due to the recovery of sales of the eco-friendly car in 
October, '09, and extending the employment period.
Toyota is planning to decrease output in October by about 20 percent 
compared to that in September, and correspond to adoption carefully.
