If you are about to leave the Military you will be glad to read the article about companies that hire veterans. Insider Monkey recently published an article about this topic giving you some very useful tips. The USA holds its veterans in very high regard. The tradition of paying tribute to the troops is a longstanding convention in the United States. Many companies affirm their support for the troops in emotionally-charged rhetoric. But do these companies that spend so much in embellishing their public image by boasting of their veteran-friendly policies, actually follow through on their promise to offer jobs to our veterans?
After one has done their duty to the country, the least the nation can offer back to an army veteran is a job. Today we look at the companies that go beyond mere lip service and PR campaigns in honoring our brave men and women by truly becoming a veteran-friendly company. These companies talk the talk and walk the walk when it comes to offering employment to the country’s heroes. These companies have a proven track record of offering employment to veterans.

AT&T is the first company now. Percentage of veterans in the company is 4%, percentage of new hires in 2016 who are veterans is 13%, percentage of recruiting budget for veterans is 1%.
