IBM Adding Almost 19,000 Jobs

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the on-the-upswing dept.

cyngus writes "IBM has announced they will add 18,800 jobs worldwide in 2004. They say about a third will be in North America. I don't know how many they have added this year so far. After the new hires IBM will employ about 330,000 people worldwide." More good news for the unemployed techie. Although things are far from the halcyon days of dot-com yesteryear, it's good to see companies doing better.

    IBM must be shaking in their boots at SCO's legal onslaught, so they are bolstering their defence! LOL

    I work at IBM and I don't see nor hear anyone hiring
    in the local site ( hint : TX ) ..

    Me think IBM is hiring outside of US like
    Russia, Korea, Australia, GreenLand, etc...
