500 IBM Jobs for Boulder

In what is most certainly very happy holiday news for the regional Denver economy, IBM announced it is bringing 500 new customer-service-related jobs by 2014 to its Boulder campus. Given the prevalence of layoffs, outsourcing and overall downsizing in corporate America this is very good news and is a signal of IBM's ongoing commitment to its Boulder site location. IBM will receive a token contribution of $35,000 in tax rebates from the city of Boulder.
