Computer employment is rising again since 1999. <--does this sentence make sense? if so, what does it mean? The bold part is the part i dont really get.

'Since 1999' doesn't go with 'is rising', which carries no dense of the past, just the present. I'd use 'has risen' or 'has been rising' there.

I can't say that I like either. 'Work at' would be do the job. 'Work for' means try to achieve, in this case to get the job.

There all correct- the difference is time. The first refers to somethingin the future, the second and fourth to the past and the third either to the present or the future.
