Continuing its mission to provide veterans and their spouses with the finest choices for employment opportunities, VIQTORY today released the 2019 Military Friendly ® Employers list. Since 2003, the Military Friendly ® Employers list has come to set the standard for organizations to provide the best opportunities for veterans and their spouses. This prestigious list provides a comprehensive guide for veterans and their families using data sources through continuous improved methodology, criteria and weightings developed with help of an independent research firm, and proprietary survey information from participating organizations. Organizations earning the Military Friendly ® Employer designation were evaluated using both public and government data sources with responses from a comprehensive survey completed by the employer. We are proud to recognize 226 employers earning this prestigious designation and truly representing what it is to be “Better for Veterans.”
