Chrysler LLC said Friday that it will cut almost a third of its white-collar work force, raising questions about whether the move is in response to difficult market conditions or a step toward preparing the struggling automaker for a possible sale.

Chrysler will cut about 5,000 of its 17,300 salaried and contract workers worldwide by Jan. 1 through buyouts and layoffs as plunging car and truck sales force Detroit's Big Three automakers to reduce costs to conserve cash.

About 95 percent of Chrysler's white-collar force is in North America, with at least 10,000 workers in Michigan, which means the state would take the brunt of the downsizing....Detroit News
