CHONGQING, CHINA – Hon Hai Group (Foxconn) will recruit more than 6,000 workers in the next six months here at its new PC manufacturing factory, according to published reports.

The firm also plans to expand the plant`s workforce to some 10,000 by 2011, all to accommodate a forecast annual output of more than 10 million notebook PCs.
