National Hire a Veteran Day on July 25th highlights the importance of leveraging veteran talent in the civilian workforce. A McKinsey & Company study found that improving employment outcomes for transitioning Veterans could add nearly $15 billion to the U.S. economy over a ten-year period.

Hiring older Veterans is not just a patriotic act; it's a smart business decision that can yield substantial benefits for companies across various industries. Their diverse skills, leadership experience, and strong work ethic make them valuable assets in today's competitive business landscape.

In the rural South, older workers of color represent an untapped reservoir of talent and experience. By working together, rural communities can unlock their full potential and drive sustainable economic growth.

Rural entrepreneurship is emerging as a vital economic engine for revitalizing small towns, especially in the South, by generating jobs, reviving downtowns, and inspiring more business activity.
