Starbucks Kicks Off Job Creation Effort



SEATTLE, Wash.  (Metro)  -- The Starbucks coffee chain is hoping to raise big bucks for job creation with made-in-the-U.S.A. items. 

It's touting its line of "Indivisible" products that includes coffee, mugs and tumblers. 

The items are produced as much as possible in the U.S., with a share of the proceeds from their sale going to Create Jobs for the USA. 

Starbucks says the effort will generate more than $80 million for loans to community businesses. 

Customers can choose from a coffee blend that's roasted in the U.S. and labeled with the name of the city where it's produced or a mug made in Ohio using materials from several states. 

There's also a tumbler made in Chicago.
