According to a recent Connecticut Post article, Fairfield-based General Electric recently committed to hiring 5,000 veterans over the next five years. The article supports this action, stating that “if any class of potential employee is deserving of special attention, it is veterans, the men and women who have actually gone into harm's way to defend the American way of life.” It also notes the current availability of federal and state tax incentives to hire veterans. For additional information on these incentives, see OLR Report 2012-R-0079.
