Job announcements are always welcomed.
But I think we should review whether they are always a good idea.
Amazon will be employing 500 IT people, mainly in Dublin.
But is there a shortage of IT jobs in Dublin? I assume not. I think that there is a shortage of IT people to fill the jobs.
So many of these employees will come from abroad. Where will they live? No problem there, as their high salaries will allow them to push up the rents in Dublin.
So how do ordinary citizens benefit? There will be more jobs providing services to Amazon.
But where will these people live?
Would 500 unskilled jobs in Ballymun be more welcome?
