Thanks for the article, Chris.
The most significant part of the article regarding EMC is:
[quote begin]
For instance, data storage system maker EMC Corp. (EMC) of Hopkinton, Mass., is
looking to hire about 1,200 people in 1999. More than a third of the fast-growing
company's employees are in Massachusetts.
Ken Mokler, EMC's director of worldwide recruiting, said the company must compete
with other high-growth technology regions for very qualified people. "There are more
jobs than there are people to fill them," he said.

No matter how a company's business is growing, if it can't find the people it needs to hire, corporate finger nails start getting bitten.
BTW, I live in New England and from all I have heard and read in the local papers (_Boston Globe_ and _Providence Journal_), the biggest problem a person with technical ability moving up here looking for a job will face is deciding which job to accept.
