So far the Create Jobs for USA program has raised about $11.5 million, including about $2.8 million from customers who bought brightly colored wristbands along with their lattes or donated to the program online.
The program was launched in November, soon after Schultz publicly scolded politicians on both sides of the aisle for not doing more to deal with the country’s economic woes. Schultz also called on Americans to stop donating to politicians and asked business leaders to step up hiring to boost economic growth. (msn.com)
