Facebook aims to employ 1000 people in UK

Facebook announced that it will employ a thousand people in London this year in roles such as product development and security while it continues to develop its largest engineering center outside the United States after Britain leaves the European Union.

More than half of the new jobs will be in technology, including software engineering and data science, and Mendelssohn emphasized that London's attractiveness is not only in its technological ecosystem but also the strength of its creative industries.

UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson commented that Facebook's growth was "good news and we are committed to making the UK the safest place in the world to be online as well as being one of the best places for technology companies to be based."
