Inc. Magazine Introduces Hire Power Awards Honoring America's 100 Top Job Creators

    MONMOUTH JUNCTION, NJ, December 13, 2012 /24-7PressRelease/ -- New Jersey-based Orion Systems Integrators, Inc. (Orion) is featured in the inaugural ranking of Inc.'s Hire Power Awards, recognizing the private businesses that have generated the most jobs in the past three years.

Orion generated 176 jobs from 2008 to 2011, placing it #4 among the top 10 private business job creators within the state of New Jersey and #8 in the top 10 private business job creators in the IT industry in the entire US.

"It is an honor to receive this award and know that we have been able to positively impact economic growth in New Jersey and the US. Our organization is dedicated to continuing to strengthen our footprint in the US and creating additional job opportunities in the IT industry," stated Sunil Mehta, President & CEO of Orion.

Inc. is the only major business media brand aimed solely at CEOs of fast-growing private companies. The Hire Power Awards will appear in Inc.'s December/January issue, as well as the brand's website, www.inc.com.

"The top 100 companies on the list have created 73,032 American jobs in the three-year period from 2008 to 2011 - an amazing feat, given that much of that job growth came during the heart of the recession," explains Inc. editor-in-chief Eric Schurenberg. "And it isn't 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."

The inaugural Inc. Hire Power Awards are sponsored by Bank of America Merrill Lynch, which is proud to recognize American companies that have greatly increased their workforces. Inc.'s Hire Power Awards celebrates private companies on the forefront of American job creation, giving these businesses the recognition they deserve.
