Typically, corporate jobs are offered an opportunity to move with the company. Since this is a fairly extreme restructure, I am sure there will be some job loss as they are bringing folks from New York and Kentucky, as well as from California. I don't think there are going to be a whole lot of Texans working for Toyota for a while. It will however bring a lot of money to the local economy with several thousand new people spending money and paying taxes, plus a whole lot of Texans working to build the facilities.
