(DNT) VETERAN UNEMPLOYMENT: WHY “THANK YOU” ISN’T ENOUGH

On this Veteran’s Day, it’s important to say thank you to those who have served our country in the military. But it’s also important to keep in mind that saying thank you alone isn’t enough. The unemployment rate among veterans was 3.1% in August, with a total of 256,000 veterans unemployed, according to government statistics. Those numbers are low and that’s not an accident. For Bruce Mosler, the Chairman of Global Brokerage at Cushman & Wakefield, hiring veterans is a winning move for businesses both large and small. “Today is a day to remember that those who serve have unique skill sets, and they deserve and have earned the opportunity for their next career move, not from a charitable perspective, but purely because of the skill sets they bring, the unique skill sets that they bring to any business,” Mosler says. “It’s collaboration skills, it’s leadership skills, and at the end of the day, it’s people that work well under pressure.” Correspondent Ivan Rodriguez has the details on how hiring a veteran benefits both the country and your business’s bottom line in a 3pET PKG with FREE custom talk backs from Atlanta.
