OPTION WIRELESS
Option Wireless has announced that it will be cutting 55 staff. The cork based IT company manufacturers a range of devices including USB modems. This follows news we announced about 6 months ago that the company was to create 145 jobs.

DHL
DHL is looking at 320 redundancies as a result of depot closures across Ireland. Closures will include in Galway, Sligo, Athlone, Cavan, Waterford, Enniscorthy and Tralee. DHL operates four divisions in Ireland and employs 1,600 people.

Sorry folks but it is still general bad news on the jobs and careers front. Unemployment reached an 11 year high in September with figures nearly at the 250,000 mark. Judging by the general feedback it could be a winter of discontent. Property crash, stock market turmoil and credit crisis.

I was interested to read that Ballina, Tralee and Dundalk were three of the worst unemployment blackspots as I have been doing some work in all three locations over the summer. All seems to be sunny in Leixlip and Malahide though as unemployment is at 4%.

Let’s try and end this article with a positive note – Cook Ireland has announce that it will be creating 200 new jobs in Limerick over the newxt 5 years. This is part of a EUR25M investment. Lets hope for a few more of these announcements over the remainder of the week.
