Wow. What do those people do? For that matter, what does Xerox do these days?

Xerox these days still make photocopiers, but they also work as really nice printers and network connected scanners.

I imagine a lot of their employees are in the service division. When you buy a high end printer it also comes with a service contract where someone will proactively come and do things like clean the printer and make sure toner is stocked.

I work in a building next to a Xerox rented building. Apparently Xerox does a lot of government contracting. They bid on government IT contracts and hire people to work on them.
