HP Keeps Jobs in US



Posted by: Suzanne Wheeler

In spite of the tanking US economy today work beginning on HP site was started in Conway, Arkansas. The town is just west of Little Rock and will house a customer service and support center employing about 1200 people. HP was offered more in incentives than it costs to build the new facility.

At least there will be a better chance at getting someone in the US on the phone for customer service when the site is complete. The question is, can we really understand southern accents better than Indian accents? I guess we’ll see!
