Another huge tech company has posted record profits and this time it's Microsoft. Microsoft have just announced a record fourth-quarter revenue of $17.37 billion for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 and 8-percent increase from the same period of the prior year. Operating income, net income and diluted earnings per share for the quarter were $6.17 billion, $5.87 billion and $0.69 per share, which represents increase of 4, 30 and 35-percent respectively when compared with the prior year period.

Now, like a certain someone on my Facebook said this morning, with all these record-breaking reports coming out from Apple, Intel and Microsoft, why are they not creating thousands upon thousands of new jobs in the US? Creation and expansion of facilities and fabrication, yes it's more expensive than China, India, etc but you're keeping the money in the US... solving the unemployment problems, keeping tax in the US and most of all creating jobs for the unemployed.

Come on you guys, you can't sit here bragging about profits year-over-year and expect to maintain that, why don't you take a hit on the chin with your profits and next year I'll post about how many new US citizens you've employed and how many new jobs you've created year-over-year. Let's do it!
