Frank Bisignano, JPMorgan Chase chief administrative officer, said, "We have spent a lot of time speaking with military officials and veterans lately, and over and over they say the biggest issue facing men and women from the armed services is finding good jobs when they leave active duty. Not only is this the right thing to do for veterans, but allof the companies in the 100,000 Jobs Mission recognize it's a greatthing to do for our businesses. Our nation's military and veterans represent the best this country has to offer. They are disciplined, principled and highly skilled. They will make outstanding employees."
Other companies participating at this time are Broadridge Financial Solutions Inc. (NYSE:BR), Cushman & Wakefield Inc., EMC Corp. (NYSE:EMC), Iron Mountain Inc. (NYSE:IRM), Modis, NCR Corp. (NYSE:NCR) and Universal Health Services Inc. (NYSE:UHS).
