Starbucks Plans To Hire 10,000 Refugees

(Seattle, WA)  --  Starbucks Chief Executive Officer Howard Schultz says he plans for the company to hire ten-thousand refugees in 75 countries over the next five years, following President Trump's executive order to ban refugees from entering the U.S for four months.  The order also bars travelers from Syria and six other Muslim-majority countries.  Schultz says the hiring would begin in the U.S., initially focusing on those who have served with U.S. troops as interpreters and support personnel in the various countries where the military has asked for such support.
