\"\"<\/a>Other World Computing announced today that it has been featured in the inaugural ranking of Inc.\u2019s Hire Power Awards<\/a>, an awards program created to recognize privately-held businesses that have created the most new jobs in the past three years. Other World Computing increased its full-time professional staff by 36 percent from 2008 to 2011, placing it among the top three job creators within the computer hardware industry. To qualify for the list, businesses must be U.S.-based, be founded in 2007 or earlier, and have had at least 50 employees as of December 31, 2011.<\/p>\n

More than 400 companies were honored with Hire Power Awards spanning all types of businesses and industries. Among the winners were GoDaddy.com, Smile Brands, and Smashburger. The Hire Power Awards will appear in Inc.\u2019s December\/January issue, as well as the brand\u2019s web site, www.inc.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe top 100 companies on the list have created 73,032 American jobs in the three-year period from 2008 to 2011 \u2013 an amazing feat, given that much of that job growth came during the heart of the recession<\/em>,\u201d said Inc. editor-in-chief Eric Schurenberg. \u201cAnd it isn\u2019t just the big guys that are adding jobs. Companies with less than $50 million in annual revenue make up nearly one-third of the Hire Power list.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n

According to Inc.<\/em> president Robert LaPointe, the jobs OWC and the other companies making up the list created in those three years add up to about $5 billion in tax revenue.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are thrilled to be honored by Inc. as one of America\u2019s top job creators<\/em>,\u201d said Larry O’Connor, Founder and CEO, Other World Computing. \u201cIn a difficult economy, we are proud that we are able to provide opportunities for employment, and our continued growth is a testament to our team\u2019s hard work and commitment to making the \u2018OWC Difference\u2019 everyday for our customers around the world.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
