Google Expands Push Into EMEA Market

Jim Hopkins writes in USA Today:

In a major overseas expansion, Google is adding up to 700 jobs in Ireland, more than doubling employment at a Dublin office serving Europe, the Middle East and Africa.

The online search giant's push, expected to be announced Tuesday, would boost Google's overall workforce by 14%, quickening the pace of its transformation into a multinational.

Google on Monday declined to comment on reports of the expansion first published by Irish media Finfacts Ireland and The Sunday Business Post Online.

USA TODAY confirmed the reports with a person who has been briefed on the announcement but who would not speak for the record because of an agreement with Irish government officials who are to announce details on Tuesday.
