Quoting Lewis Krauskopf , Reuters & FT sources:
" Google is planning to expand its staff by a third, with most of the new hirings in Europe, the Financial Times reported on its Website.
The Web search company plans to hire several thousand engineers in Europe to create a research and development team in the region as big as in the United States, the report said.
"I aim to grow the EMEA (Europe, Middle East and Africa) engineering team as big as the one in North America. This is why I joined," the FT quoted Nelson Mattos, Google's new head of engineering in Europe, as saying.
Google's workforce ballooned nearly 13 percent between March and the end of June, growing to 13,786 full-time employees from 12,238 staff at the end of March.The planned expansion is likely to be within the next three years, the FT report said."
Now check this out....the GDP of the EU is 1.5 times that of the US.
Plus the Euro is growing by leaps and bounds against the $.
The EU has a very large pool of extraordinarily gifted Engineers.
PLUS GOOGLE EXPANSION WOULD MEAN GREATER SERVICES FOR EUROPE, AVAILABLE FULLY IN EUROPEAN LANGUAGES LIKE FRENCH, SPANISH, ITALIAN, GERMAN, ETC....
