The purpose of this blog post is to encourage job seeking US veterans to move to Texas. HirePatriots is working with multiple companies in Texas that eagerly want to hire America’s former military. But here in California it is often difficult to convince them to move. For instance, there is a company in Houston, Texas that wants to hire 50 US veterans immediately to drive cement trucks. The average salary is $60,000+. — US veterans should take a serious look at this opportunity and make that move.
