Goldman Sachs Plans To Hire 1,000 In Singapore While Cutting U.S. Jobs

The Huffington Post reports:

Goldman Sachs, the country's fifth-largest bank by assets, plans to hire 1,000 people in Singapore while laying off a significant number of workers at home, according to Fox Business News.

What's more, the investment bank plans on making the decision known to Congress even before telling its own shareholders, fearful of backlash. The jobs are “high-paying, skilled positions in sales and investment banking," according to one person familiar with the matter. Or, in other words, the Singapore hires will be filling the same sort of positions that are being cut in the United States.

Who could forget New York that taxpayers helped pay for Goldman's headquarters? No word yet on any of this from Goldman's favorite politician: Senator Barack Obama(Democrat-TARP).
