Pangea Properties Receives Inc. Hire Power Award
Chicago Based REIT Ranks #42 in Job Creation Over the Last 18 Months
Chicago, IL, November 15, 2013 --(PR.com)-- Pangea Properties was featured in the 2nd annual Inc. Hire Power Awards, recognizing the top private businesses that have generated the most jobs in the past three years. Pangea generated 259 jobs from January 1, 2012 to June 30, 2013, placing it among the top 3 private business job creators within the real estate industry and third in Chicago.
“We’re thrilled to be a recipient of the Hire Power Award and are proud to be a growing company, even when many real estate companies were cutting back,” says Pangea Properties CEO Al Goldstein. “We’ve added close to 300 jobs over the last three years and have plans to continue growing and adding quality jobs.”
The Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that only 222,000 full-time jobs were added in 2012. Compare those numbers to the honorees of the Inc. Magazine’s Hire Power Awards, which created 69,182 jobs between January 1, 2012 and June 30, 2013 and it’s visible that small to mid-sized companies hold the key to restoring America’s economic vitality.
“For the second year in a row, we are pleased to recognize the employers who are putting Americans back to work for a second time,” says Eric Schurenberg, Editor-in-Chief of Inc. “The Hire Power Awards are the only awards that single out job creators. We think it’s fitting to pay tribute to company founders not just for their business prowess but also for their immense contribution to the welfare of U.S. workers and the vitality of the U.S. economy.”
Pangea is among the 437 private growth companies that are Hire Power Award honorees, leading the way in creating more American jobs. While honorees are found across the country states with the most Hire Power companies include California, Florida, Texas, Ohio, New York, Massachusetts, Illinois and Utah. An award ceremony, sponsored by Bank of America Merrill Lynch, will take place November 12, 2013 in San Francisco.
In addition, earlier in 2013 Pangea debuted at number 42 on the Inc. 500|5000 list in their first year of eligibility. The REIT ranked second among the real estate industry and was listed as the number one company for the Chicago market.
