IBM Adding 500 Jobs in Colarado

With help from $3,500 in tax rebates from the city of Boulder, IBM is adding 500 customer service jobs to its existing center. Currently IBM has 2800 employees in Boulder.

The new jobs will be phased in between now and 2014 and will pay between $23k and $38k per year. The new jobs are a welcome change from IBM which has cut approximately 10,000 jobs in 2009. Exact figures are unknown because IBM does not publicly announce job cuts, but layoffs have been well documented by former employees.
