Two companies have announced in recent days that they would soon add several hundred jobs in Georgia.
YesVideo, a company that converts home movies and videos to DVDs and other digital formats, will bring 300 jobs to Norcross next month.
The Santa Clara, Ca.-based firm says they have has 30,000 retail locations including Walgreens, Costco and CVS.
"Metro Atlanta is well-centered, geographically, to service the entire eastern seaboard, Midwest, and south central areas with cost-effective ground logistics," YesVideo Chief Operating Officer Gregory Ayres said.On Friday, Kodak announced that they were ramping up a third production line at their Columbus plant.
Kodak officials say the just-completed $15 million dollar investment will add another 50 jobs in coming years, bringing the total staffing to 300.
The facility makes digital plates for the printing industry.
On the red side of the employment ledger, however, JP Morgan Chase says they plan to close a credit card customer service center in Kennesaw by mid-2010, eliminating 730 jobs.
The center primarily worked with the now defunct electronics retailer, Circuit City.
Chase didn’t say when the cuts would begin, but says employees will be eligible to apply for other jobs in the company.
