the big question is, why is starbucks asking for your money to create jobs? we asked howard schulz, the ceo, take a listen. >> the real issue here is we have 9% unemployment in america, almost doubled that in the hispanic and african-american community. people are losing faith and hope in america and i'm saying to businesses and leaders across the country let's not wait for washington. we, too, can make a difference. >> fredricka, the back story is very interesting. this move comes on the heels of a pledge that howard schultz made this year to stop any campaign donations to politicians until washington really gets its fiscal house in order and a long-term debt plan and he pledged to hire. he went as far to ask business leaders across the country also to join his pledge to hire americans. now i asked him if he thinks there's a moral obligation for business owners in this country right now, in this jobs crisis to hire? he said it's not a moral obligation, but he's encouraging businesses to do whatever they can and invest the money they have in creating jobs in

let's talk about starbucks. >> sure. >> it's revealing this new plan to help create jobs. >> and starbucks is going to throw $5 million into the brew to get it started. you know that the ceo, howard schultz, has been very vocal, almost political, i would say, about his distaste for gridlock in washington. he wants to help people, help companies, create jobs. so they have started something, a small business loan program that they're trying to help fund. you buy $5 donation at your starbucks when you get your cup of joe. you get this cool bracelet to show that you're a supporter of american jobs. and then they're going to send that money called the opportunity finance network, i think, and they're going to try to get, they say, every donation you give will help fund $35 into that to get main street hiring. you know, carol, it's interesting. main street has been hiring. big companies have been firing or not hiring over the past couple years. main street is where any hiring has been happening, it's been happening. companies with under 500 employees on average are hiring about 60,000 people a m

now according to "the globe," starbucks has dropped that surcharge. i'll tell you, here's the takeaway for vigilant consumers. a lot of different products either secretly or not so secretly, the smaller the packaging, the more you're paying per pound. that's why so many of those grocery store chains put the price per pound right there on the grocery store shelves. so make sure you're checking because i bet you millions and millions of people were paying more for less. starbucks actually in "the globe" story was quoted as saying that quite frankly, it costs them more to package a smaller amount. more packaging, more labor to put it into smaller bags. that's why they were charging more, but they have dropped that surcharge. carol? >> so i guess that excuse wasn't good enough. let's talk about facebook and security and important. >> another consumer takeaway for you. this is why one of the many reasons why there are all kinds of limitations about the age of people to be on these things. you don't want kids on some of these social networking sites. and bo

you talked to the ceo of starbucks and what did he say? >> howard shultz came out this summer and you may be aware of this, folks. he made a two-part pledge. called on people to stop donating until washington gets its fiscal house in order and called on business leaders large and small to hire. here's what starbucks is doing. you'll notice wrist bands like this. they say indivisible. you'll see them at all starbucks counters across the country. starbucks just launched a program asking you for $5 donations that they will give to fund small business loans. get main street hiring even more. get americans wack to work. we had a chance to talk to them at starbucks in new york about this move and why a coffee company is doing something like this right now. take a listen. >> the real issue here is if 9% unemployment in america is almost double that in hispanic and people are losing faith in america and i'm saying, let's not wait for washington. we, too, can make a difference. >> i went on to ask shultz, all right, do business leaders like yoursel

they're all over starbucks, about 7,000 starbucks across the country. you can give $5 as a donation to fund small business loans. and they say that's going to help create jobs in america. and in return you get the wrist band. the bigger story behind this that's so interesting, keira is this push that howard schultz, the head of starbucks has been making the last few months. i want to show you some web roll of his website. he came out this summer with a pledge, to ask people to stop donating to washington, and political campaigns and to washington got its fiscal house in order and got a long-term debt plan. and he asked business leaders, large and small, to pledge to hire about 3200 business leaders have already done that now starbucks is saying we're putting our money and our muscle where our mouth is. we are committing money and an effort to this. so i asked him why is it businesses' responsibility to operate in way that is asking people to put money and their support behind creating jobs in america. his answer was very interesting, take a listen. >> t
