Paducah and McCracken County officials gathered Tuesday to celebrate the
400 jobs that Colorado-based TeleTech Holdings is bringing to the area
when they got some unexpected good news - an additional 150 new jobs.
Todd Baxter, senior vice president of operations for TeleTech, made the
surprise announcement when he took his turn at the podium during an
afternoon ribbon-cutting ceremony at the company's state-of-the-art call
center in Paducah Commerce Park. Originally, TeleTech planned to hire
300 at the new location and an additional 100 employees in the old
Commerce Center downtown, which will be remodeled.
"Our intention is to bring 550 new jobs all told," Baxter said, to an
outburst of smiles and applause. "I thought I'd start with that."
