With unemployment in the U.S. and Europe hanging around at staggering levels, there are some signs of hope if you look hard enough. If you’re in a desperate need of a job and would consider moving to England, Rolls-Royce is looking.

The automaker said today that it is looking to increase its manufacturing workforce by 50 percent, or by 150 new employees. Rolls-Royce said that the new employees will be involved in the production of the upcoming Rolls-Royce Ghost (otherwise known as the baby-Phantom, 200EX or the RR4) due out in 2010.

The Rolls-Royce Ghost will be powered by a 6.6L turbo-charged V12 engine producing more than 500-hp. It will be mated to an 8-speed automatic gearbox.
