Denver's Alpine Access will hire 1,000 new workers - Onshore

Denver's Alpine Access will hire 1,000 new U.S. workers in a move to reverse the trend of hiring customer service representatives off shore. This was reported by 9news.com (http://www.9news.com/rss/story.aspx?storyid=216124), 30-Aug-2011.

The idea is to hire local workers onshire because customers prefer talking to others that know the local dialect and culture, plus the Denver Metro Area does not have the high cost of living expense of cities such as San Francisco or New York.
