IBM CEO Ginni Rometty announced Tuesday that her company would hire 25,000 new workers over the next four years, a pledge that comes a day before she and her tech colleagues are set to meet with President-elect Donald Trump in New York to talk about the economy.

Writing in USA Today, Rometty said her hiring commitment — which includes 6,000 fresh hires in the next year — would be coupled with $1 billion for training and development for IBM workers and an expansion of the company’s U.S. cloud data center.

Rometty's commitments set the stage for her arrival Wednesday — along with executives from Alphabet, Apple, Facebook and others — at Trump Tower for a meeting with the president-elect and his team, which will focus on jobs and the economy. Asked about the timing, an IBM spokesman said the targets are new and the company is "announcing them now as a basis for engaging the incoming administration on how the right policies can create more New Collar opportunities for U.S. workers."

The open letter is not Rometty’s first outreach to the Trump administration. Days after he won, she penned a letter promising to work with Trump to “achieve the aspiration you articulated and that can advance a national agenda in a time of profound change.”

Rometty pointed to so-called new collar jobs and to IBM’s previous efforts to “identify $1 trillion in savings the federal government could achieve” through the use of technology, much of which her company currently sells.

 

you quoted me when you made your comment. now what did trump have to do with the ibm thing?

 

You interjected to my comment directed at Sigmund so I responded to your comment making it a three way. I responded above to your question about Trump.

 

A lot of these jobs are part time. I know a lot of educated young people who are working an "almost full time" job... just few enough hours to get under the Obama Care threshold, so then they work another part time job to pay for health care. I also know a lot of people who gave up looking for work so they aren't on unemployment rolls.

 

I love it. So if someone decides to give up on trying to find a job, they are no longer considered "unemployed"? (not directed at you, just an observation)

What a joke. In this country you are either financially independent, self employed, full time employed, part time employed, unemployed, retired or dead. (I think that covers them all)

 

you watch. after trump is in office the MSM will start counting those people in the unemployment figures.

 

so you believe that ibm just planned this hiring in the last month since the election? you don't think the company would have engaged a president other than trump if he wasn't elected? talk about delusional. any leader of a large company like ibm would reach out to any new president in order to gain favor for their agenda. rommetys opinion piece in usa today did not mention trump at all.

You can try and spin it any way you would like. It's this kind of thinking that got your party booted from office. Not trying to be rude, because I do believe we can all agree to disagree and have different view points on politics, but constantly spinning things isn't the way to go.

 

People are classified as unemployed if they do not have a job, have actively looked for work in the prior 4 weeks, and are currently available for work.

From.... https://www.bls.gov/cps/cps_htgm.htm#unemployed
Straight from the "white horse's" mouth.

 

Wow, what a way to skew the #'s to appear favorable. The reality is there's a lot of people who desperately would like to have a job. Things will improve but it's like turning a giant ship 180 degrees in the other direction, it's gonna take a while.

 

i'm not trying to spin anything. the only spinning are the posts implying that trump is creating all these jobs at ibm. he is not. he had nothing to do with it. this would be occurring no matter who was elected president.

 

unless trump changes this method, unemployment will be accounted for in the same way under his administration.

 

LOL Whatever dude. No sense in arguing.

 

Dems / Liberals, take note, learn from one of your own who "gets it" please. If this man can open his mind, so to can you. I don't watch CNN but I figure if it came from one of the mainstream / liberal media outlets, you might accept it.

For the record Jim Brown voted for Hillary, FWIW.

 

Everyone should give the new president a chance... But I don't give a fu*k what a great athlete, that likes to beat women, thinks about him.

 

The way unemployment is calculated was changed in 2010... I don't remember who the president was was back then, or what party was in charge... Maybe someone can look that up and get back to me? (all snark intended)

And I was not a Trump supporter, but you know what? He is my president.
