But questions remain over what type of roles they are
A Douglas North MHK is welcoming the announcement from Tesco that as many as 100 jobs will be created on the Isle of Man.
In total, it means around 40 additional roles are being made, after 60 redundancies were handed out following Shoprite's sale.
The government says it's working with suppliers to help them get SALSA accreditation - which would enable local goods to be stocked on Tesco shelves.
David Ashford is optimistic but says questions still remain:
Number of bus services cancelled or at risk today
UK Budget measures to help gas consumers not to be replicated here
Onchan heading for full recount following petition from ex-MHK
