Show Thiokol Chemical Nears 3,000 Employee Mark Thiokol Chemical Corporation Utah Division is approaching its 1959 goal of 3000 personnel, according ac-cording to Bryce Wilhite, assistant assist-ant general manager and technical tech-nical director. As of last Tuesday, the working work-ing force at the northern Utah Division has been in operation only a little over two years. Total payroll for the rocket engine facility passed the million dollar mark last July. Mr. Wilhite Wil-hite said the latest monthly pay- roll figure was $1,464,713. The Utah Division has been adding around 200 new employees em-ployees a month. Mr. Wilhite said that hiring of all but highly specialized personnel has been temporarily curtailed to permit the present work force to be further fur-ther developed into a cohesive unit. "Our goal right now is to make maximum use of our present personnel," he said. "We want to develop the most efficient force possible for the performance of our mission." The Utaht Division is eventually eventu-ally expected to employ around 4000 persons. |
