UPS is not hiring 25,000 drivers.
Yesterday there was a misconception that UPS had 25,000 jobs to fill in the next five years. There was much misconception when Yahoo posted the initial story that UPS will hire 25,000 employees.
On Friday, the UPS blog had the following statement posted on their site:
UPS Isn’t Hiring 25,000 Drivers Today
Sometimes a headline can leave the wrong impression.
A story on Yahoo.com says that UPS is hiring 25,000 drivers. The headline is attached to a summary of a Wall Street Journal story about UPS’s state-of-the-art driver training program designed to serve future generations of drivers.
The Wall Street Journal correctly noted that UPS expects 25,000 “Baby Boomer” drivers to retire over the next five years. But UPS replaces its retiring drivers from the ranks of part-time sorters already working for the company.
So, the truth is we don’t have 25,000 driver jobs open. All the current UPS jobs available are posted at www.upsjobs.com.
Too bad Yahoo got it wrong and raised the hopes of hundreds of job seekers.
This is how rumors start on the Internet. It ends up disappointing many, many hopeful people who are in desperate need of a job.
