IBM to cut 1,000 jobs at unit Firm also helps university on cancer research computer msnbc.com NEW YORK, Nov. 28 — International Business Machines Corp. said on Wednesday it would cut about 4.6 percent of jobs in its microelectronics division due to decreased demand for semiconductors. AN IBM SPOKESMAN said about 1,000 management and non-management positions would be eliminated out of the current 21,500 spots. The division, which makes microchips for IBM and other tech companies such as Apple Computer, has had no job cuts since the early 1990s, the spokesman said. Separately, IBM said it is working with the University of Pennsylvania on a large computer that will store mammogram data, helping doctors screen for breast cancer and find geographic clusters of people with the disease. Initially, the computer will be linked with four university hospitals, enabling the hospitals to store digital versions of mammograms and use analytical tools that can help diagnose and identify cancer cell clusters in the population, IBM said.
