Inside views on the jobs market
IBM cutting jobs … quietly
There’s been no official announcement but our sources tell us that IBM will cut about 5,000 jobs in the United States. The move adds similarly large cuts in the past few months, the sources said. The job cuts will account for over 4 percent of IBM’s U.S. workforce and will mostly be in IBM’s global services business, which includes outsourcing and consulting services.
An IBM spokesman declined to comment but readers close to the story are welcome to do so below.
