LinkedIn to add 800 jobs in this country

DUBLIN- Microsoft’s Linkedin, a social network for professionals, on Thursday said it would add 800 new jobs to its European headquarters in Dublin, the latest technology company to boost its presence in Ireland.
The move underscores signs that hiring in Ireland remains robust despite neighbouring Britain’s planned departure from the Europe Union and a slowdown in global economic growth.
Foreign companies account for around one in 10 jobs among Ireland’s more than two million workers, benefiting from a corporate tax rate of just 12.5%.
