I don’t think it is 10,000 US workers—it is global—75 countries over 5 years.
From article:
Starbucks says it plans to hire 10,000 refugees over five years in the 75 countries where it does business.
Chairman and CEO Howard Schultz outlined the company’s plan in a memo sent to employees Sunday in response to President Trump’s executive order banning travel from seven Muslim majority countries.
“We are living in an unprecedented time,” Schultz wrote in the memo, which listed several actions the company says it is taking to “reinforce our belief in our partners around the world.”
The refugee hiring proposal, Schultz wrote, will begin with a focus on people who have served with U.S. troops as interpreters and support personnel.

Starbs is obnoxious and annoying—I think they are trying to jump on the anti-Trump bandwagon here.
Very frustrating though because any US jobs lost are good ones as they provide benefits such as health care and college tuition reimbursement
Thanks. I caught that just after I hit post but the basic premise is the same. No matter what country it is; there will be citizens who need those jobs just as much as a refugee. Maybe even more because refugees usually get gov money for a long time and can get loans we can’t... etc. etc.
