According to the most recent statistics, veterans ages 18 to 24 have the highest unemployment rates since 2001, coming in at a whopping 20.6%. Despite the fact that nearly all of the literature and research states that those who actually do find jobs after military service tend to bring with them superior leadership and teamwork skills, quality of character, loyalty, resiliency and ability to evolve to rapidly changing circumstances, many young veterans are still out of work. Though some experts are predicting this rate to improve in the coming years, the need for a viable career post-military service is certainly great.

And experts agree that commercial cleaning is a recession-resistant industry, with the demand now in excess of $160 billion annually. Moreover, these same experts expect it to grow to a whopping $175 billion in the next three years.
