Ford Motor Company is moving jobs from Spain to the U.S.
 
Ford representatives say the demand for its two-liter turbocharged engines is growing so fast that it needs to start building the engines at a factory near Cleveland.

The engines are currently being made at a plant in Valencia, Spain. The engine plant in Ohio already employs 1,300 people that make V-6 engines for pickup trucks.

Ford will add roughly 450 workers to the plant and spend $200 million so the turbocharged engines can also be made in America.
