Norfolk Naval Shipyard to Increase Workforce
Norfolk Naval Shipyard is planning to expand its workforce by 1,500 workers in an effort to keep up with worker attrition and looming ship repair workload, according to a report on http://hamptonroads.com.
The Portsmouth shipyard employs about 9,500 people and has a reported annual payroll of about $700 million. It will have more than 10,000 workers in place after the new hires - the highest number of workers in the yard since the early 1990s.
