Those who are in tuned to what is happening in the auto industry know for a fact the current trend concerning U.S.’ Big Three and Japan’s version of the Big Three. While General Motors, the Ford Motor Company, and the Chrysler Group are experiencing tough times, Japanese car manufacturers are enjoying continued success.
Last year, General Motors and Ford declared loosing a substantial amount of money as they struggle to compete with Japanese made vehicles. Chrysler, on the other hand, is steadily loosing money prompting DaimlerChrysler AG to put the American brand in the auction block. The Big Three from U.S. have also been cutting down shifts on their plants and even closing facilities as well as reducing their workforce.
Meanwhile, Japan’s three biggest car manufacturers have been enjoying increased sales in the United States and all over the world. And even as General Motors, Ford and Chrysler are slashing U.S. jobs, Toyota, Honda and Nissan are busy setting up plants in the U.S. and in their home turf as well. The increased attention to constructing and expanding plants in Japan is the result of the increasing demand for luxury models and hybrid vehicles.
Most of those vehicles are made in Japan and that is also where Lexus, Acura, and Infiniti are based. Tsuyoshi Mochimaru, an auto analyst for Deutsche Securities in Tokyo, has this to say about the trend: “It doesn’t make sense to produce everything abroad. The idea is that rethinking quality begins in Japan.”
The focus in their homeland by constructing plants in Japan is evident in the planned setting up of production facilities by Toyota, Honda, and Nissan. In 2005, Toyota opened an engine manufacturing plant in southwestern Japan. The said facility is tasked with producing engines for luxury models of the Lexus division.
Recently, the surging car manufacturer announced that they will be expanding the said plant as the demand for luxury vehicles from Lexus increases. The expansion will begin next year and will create additional 500 jobs for the area. The said facility was the first production plant constructed by Toyota in Japan in about 20 years.
Honda, the second largest car manufacturer in Japan, is also planning to construct an assembly plant in Japan. Completion of the said plant is expected by 2010. By constructing the plant, Honda will be providing 2,200 direct jobs and hundreds more indirectly. The said plant will be Honda’s first plant to be constructed in Japan in 30 years. This shows the increasing success being enjoyed by Honda. In the U.S., the car manufacturer is now closing in on Chrysler Group in terms of market share.
Nissan, another Japanese car manufacturer with increased sales of hybrid and luxury vehicles in the United States, is also planning to expand their operation in Japan. Last year, the company completed the construction of an engine plant in Japan producing engines for their luxury vehicles under the Infiniti brand, vehicles that are aesthetically sound especially if equipped with Nissan spoiler.
Recently, the company announced that they will be investing in the expansion of their Yokohama plant to produce more engines as the demand for their vehicles in the United States seems to be gradually increasing.
It can be remembered that Japanese car manufacturers constructed plants in the United States to appease Americans who are blaming them for the reduction of the workforce of U.S.’ Big Three. While these Japanese car manufacturers have already plants in the United States, select models are made in Japan and exported to the United States. The Toyota Prius is one concrete example of that.
After I graduated college with a B.A. in Music, I decided (as many recent college grads do) that I would set out and see the world. Unfortunately, one month after I graduated, student loan bills started rolling in. After receiving many “cease and desist” letters from the loan company after trying to coax them into giving me a year off to see Europe and the Americas, I realized that I had no choice but to get a job. After seeing so many of my friends graduate college only to find debt and low wages on the other side, I knew that I couldn’t just settle down and fill the first position that would hire me. My mind began to stir with ways I could travel AND make money.
After my ass had become sore from my own kicking, wishing I had majored in journalism (hehehe I got into the field anyways!), I read an article in a music magazine about working on a cruise ship, so I applied. As it was, the cruise ship was only a few weeks away from its trans-Atlantic Mediterranean cruise and their dinner-music string quartet desperately needed a cellist. Having played double bass extensively, but never cello, I applied anyways and spent the following week learning all the Brahms and Strauss I could on that old bugger. Unfortunately, the audition piece was from the Baroque period, but I managed through it and got the job.
And what a job it was! I was able to see places I’d never dreamed of, all while enjoying the full amenities of a 5-star cruise ship. My room and board were paid for, so my seemingly small paycheck was all able to be funneled into my student loan. It was fantastic, but as all dream jobs go, it didn’t last very long—my stringed comrades and I were replaced with a set of speakers and an iPod by the next cruise season. Apparently the ship had been serving sub-par beef and our jobs were the first to go in order to provide better food for the patrons.
This job left me with a rare disease that sends those who suffer from it all over the world in search of a cure… I had caught the traveling bug! With my student loans finally paid off, I had literally no savings to fund such a trip, so I needed to find a job that would either take me on the road, or let me take it. After tossing around the idea of being a trucker, I later rejected the idea because I’d embarked on road trips all around the Southwest… there’s nothing to see out there! Just a lot of flat, straight roads and cows everywhere, and boy do those cattle stink! I needed something that would take me further away from home and I found such a job building, oddly enough, tradeshow exhibits.
At first I thought, how hard can it be? Nailing together some plywood, maybe a little painting and gluing? Boy was I wrong. The exhibit manufacturer is a truly artistic outfit and the design behind their exhibits shows. I was able to travel all across the United States and as far west as Asia building these exhibits. Though I’m not getting paid to rosin a bow and draw strings anymore, I enjoy the work I do. Being an exhibit manufacturer It’s still a venue for my creativity, I still get to work in harmony with my colleagues, and between the setup and dismantling of the exhibits, I get to go out and explore the cities we visit. In fact, we’re in Tokyo right now for three days! You would not believe how amazing this city is! I can’t wait to see it after the sun goes down! Sayonara!

Bahrain undoubtedly is the financial hub of the Middle East. It is also internationally known to be the most diversified economy in the Gulf region. Unlike other countries in the Gulf region that depend heavily on oil and gas production, in Bahrain, the contribution of this sector is merely 14% of GDP (2007). The most thriving sector in Bahrain currently is the financial sector. Thus, there is no dearth of banking jobs in Bahrain. These financial sector jobs have been increasing as the sector has seen ample growth over the past few years and Bahrain has become an attractive career destination for qualified expatriates in this field. Other than the financial sector, other booming sectors in the region include professional services, logistics, ICT, and manufacturing sectors.
Bahrain boasts of the highest and most transparent regulatory and supervisory standards in its financial sector and has thus become the most established financial hub which has attracted investors for businesses in this field. Despite being such a small country, it has attracted a lot of foreign investment in this region as it is the tried and tested ground for banking and insurance sector. In the region, there are more than 400 licensed financial institutions which contribute nearly 27% of GDP (2007). These institutions operate in banking, insurance and funds. Also, Bahrain is a hub for Islamic finance as the largest number of Islamic financial institutions is located in the region. Owing to these reasons banking jobs in Bahrain have become quite attractive to skilled professionals across the globe.
Bahrain banking jobs are very lucrative too. The prime reason for this is that it is a tax-free region. Thus, no taxes are levied on the compensation of an individual. This is a major puller for expatriates who throng the region to take up such jobs and make savings for a lifetime. These expatriates take up jobs on contractual basis and leave the country at the end of their term but by the time they leave, they save enough money to make the period of stay worthwhile. The quality and the standard of lifestyle offered in Bahrain are also world-class. Though one might find a huge difference in culture but with an open mind, one can enjoy the luxuries offered by the place. One has to be a little open-minded to settle well in the country and accept all the good that it has to offer.
To get a Bahrain banking job, one can apply through various mediums such as recruitment firms operating in the area, newspapers, job sites and also by directly applying to these banks that regularly advertise their vacancies on their websites. If going through a recruitment agency, it is always advisable to choose a certified agency because there are a lot of sham companies operating in this field who make unsuspecting job searchers a prey. Once short listed, the candidates have to go through a comprehensive selection procedure as the standards of selection in top financial companies are also very high. The employer becomes the sponsor of the expatriates who work in Bahrain. In your employment contract, there are other included benefits too. For instance, many employers offer housing, education for children and one annual free trip back home to employees. Considering these benefits, a banking job in Bahrain becomes a sought after one.
Despite the current economic downturn, Bahrain’s established status as the financial capital of the Middle East is ready to weather these tough times. The sector has seen a surging employment growth in Bahrain’s financial industry in the last few years. There is an emphasis on employing local Bahrainis as the country’s education system has evolved and is producing graduates ready to take up jobs. However, there is still a lot of demand for foreign workers. Prominent financial services companies operating in Bahrain include some big international names such as AIG, American Express, Bank of China, Citibank, European Islamic Bank, Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ, BNP Paribas, Hanover Re, HSBC, Royal Bank of Scotland, JP Morgan, Lazard, Merrill Lynch, and Standard Chartered. The expansion of these firms in the region has ensured that more and more jobs are being created each year. Apart from banking, insurance and funds are the other two branches in the finance sector that are employing expatriates in large numbers.
