The majority of Microsoft's workforce is made up of US workers, and therefore the majority of jobs eliminated in January were held by US workers. Workers on H-1B visas and other temporary work visas make up only a small percentage of our overall workforce, but they were also among the employees impacted. We do know, however, that the 5,000 positions that will be eliminated will include jobs in marketing, sales, finance, legal and corporate affairs, HR, R and amp;D and IT. Of the 1,400 positions eliminated in January, over 800 were in Washington state, where the company has its headquarters.
