Chicago-based Groupon Inc. is receiving a $3.5 million state-based business investment that will translate to 250 new jobs at the company.
The nation’s leading social shopping website, Groupon is one of the fastest growing companies in Illinois. They have gone from having seven employees in 2008, to more than 900 now at their Chicago headquarters, and over 2,500 worldwide.
Administering the $3.5 million investment package is the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity, which consists of corporate tax income credits over the next 10 years, and job training funds to enhance worker skills.
The increasingly popular website offers daily deals by leveraging the power of group purchases.

Testimonial of the Week
What I liked about the service is that it had such a comprehensive collection of jobs! I was using a number of sites previously and this took up so much time, but in joining EmploymentCrossing, I was able to stop going from site to site and was able to find everything I needed on EmploymentCrossing.

Only TravelingCrossing consolidates every job it can find in the domain and puts all of the job listings it locates in one place.
- We have more jobs than any other job board.
- We list jobs you will not find elsewhere that are hidden in small regional publications and employer websites
- We collect jobs from more than 4,429,376 websites and post them on our site.
- We are private, and therefore far fewer people are applying for the jobs on our site than are applying for those on public job boards.
