pinkslips_transparent_125x100.gifAmerican International Group Inc. (NYSE:AIG) cut 10,000 in jobs this year, according to the U.S. Government Accountability Office, reported Bloomberg.

Those jobs were cut in both layoffs and asset divestments, according to the report. "AIG employed about 106,000 as of June 30, the U.S. Government Accountability Office said yesterday in a report, about 8.6 percent less than the New York-based insurer's count in its 2008 annual report."

Even though several companies are laying off employees, several are also hiring. Check our job opening pick of the day from The Deal's Career Channel:
