Funny how important little details get buried...

Unisys cutting 229 jobs as it shuts down Austin operations

The headline is bad enough... but it is an example of the Statesman's rose colored glass bias that these little details get buried deep in a story, rather than being news themselves.

"the region is still losing jobs overall"

"In February, the region was down 4,200 jobs from a year earlier"

The other question would be are these jobs just going away, or are they getting offshored?

The previous big layoff so far this year when BBVA Compass laid off 279 in January we know the jobs were just plain disappearing because it was a result of their acquisition of Guaranty Bank.

In Unisys' case it is hard to say, they've been a shrinking company for a long time as they've been more or less a distant also-ran in the hardware business for a long time and have been slowly but steadily losing a lot of the government IT service/consulting contracts they once held.
