Believe It or Not: NADA says there are 100,000 jobs to fill at dealerships

From http://blog.buyingadvice.com/2008/03/believe-it-or-n.html

If you believe what the National Automobile Dealers Association says, the time to buy a new car might be fast approaching. Why?
Well, the organization that was founded in 1917 and which represents more than 19,700 domestic and international new car and truck dealers, claims there'll be more than 100,000 jobs to fill at dealerships nationwide very soon.
In a recent NADA Press Release, kicking off "Automotive Career Month," Chairman Annette Sykora says: "We are encouraging students to schedule a visit to their hometown dealership and ask about internships or summer jobs, which can often lead to a full-time career a few years down the road."
But wait! Aren't automotive sales down in this slumping economy? And isn't the long-term outlook for new car sales just as gloomy, especially with Ford Motor Company recently making a highly controversial offer to buy back 81 dealerships? Get more details on Ford's offer at MarketWatch.
Well, apparently NADA sees better times on the near horizon, which could translate to some great deals for car buyers, especially if, as they claim, there'll be 100,000 jobs available at dealerships very soon. Think of it as 100,000 new dealership representatives fighting for your business.
