One year after it started sacking
jobs in a move designed to counterbalance the revenue drop generated by the worldwide economic downturn, Microsoft embraces an initiative that will have it and other large US corporations hiring a vast number of college graduates by the end of this year. Microsoft and the members of the Invest in America Alliance initiative herded by Intel intend to hire over 10,000 people fresh out of college. The move comes as US-based companies attempt to contribute to jumpstarting the country’s economy which is recovering from the economic crisis which seems to have hit an apex in 2009.
