Building Stronger Communities: The Economic Benefits of Hiring Veterans

Aug 19, 2025

There is a shortage of skilled workers in the manufacturing industry, and our U.S. military veterans are qualified to fill the gap. The leadership, discipline, and problem-solving abilities honed in the military are directly transferable to many manufacturing roles, specifically in concrete manufacturing. When our company actively recruits veterans and service members, we fill workforce shortages and boost productivity, driving economic growth in local communities and the manufacturing sector as a whole.

After military service, many veterans face challenges finding employment despite their strong work ethic and valuable skills. Without a stable career, they’re often unable to build the lives they desire, and their talent is underutilized.

By hiring veterans, the County Materials Family of Companies strengthens the economy from the ground up. The combination of veteran talent and our company’s critical role in supplying reliable products for critical infrastructure projects ensures that communities are built on a foundation of strength and resilience.
