For the fourth consecutive year, Harris Corporation (NYSE: HRS) has been named to G.I. Jobs magazine's list of companies that have a strong commitment to hiring military veterans. The list showcases the top 100 veteran-friendly companies in the U.S. from among 5,000 that are eligible, based on revenues of more than $500 million.
Harris was ranked 35 on the list. Selection was based on the strength of military recruiting efforts, the percentage of new hires with prior military service and company policies toward National Guard and Reserve service. |
