Chrysler has announced that hourly employees in the United States will receive their bonuses from profit-sharing a month earlier. The company's CEO praised the workers and the performance of the company. Chrysler made its first profit in 15 years last week, one that would have been higher had the company not paid back loans from the Canadian and American government early. The average bonus will be about $1,500.
