Apple Confirms: Steve Jobs Back at Work

Bloomberg has received confirmation from Apple that Steve Jobs has returned to work at Apple following his liver transplant, currently working part-time at the company's headquarters in Cupertino and part-time from home. Jobs reportedly returned to work last Monday, but today's report is the first confirmation directly from Apple.

Steve Jobs is back at work at Apple Inc., returning to his job as chief executive officer as planned after taking medical leave in January.

"Steve is back to work," Steve Dowling, an Apple spokesman, said today. Jobs is at Apple a few days a week and working at home the remaining days, he said. "We are very glad to have him back," Dowling said.

Jobs announced in mid-January that he would be taking a medical leave of absence until the end of June, and today's report confirms that he has met his target.
