These 20 companies are hiring

Despite the massive layoffs being announced on a weekly basis, an article on Forbes.com says these companies have openings for workers (as of January 13, 2009). Search them out on the web to see if you have what they are looking for but be aware that these companies may not have openings in your home town so you may have to consider relocation.
