GPO Named One of America's Best Employers for Veterans for the Third Year in a Row
WASHINGTON —The U.S. Government Publishing Office (GPO) has been named to the
Forbes list of America’s Best Employers for Veterans 2024. The Agency was also
recognized for this honor in 2022 and 2023. GPO has a long-standing history of employing
veterans dating back to the Civil War and currently employs nearly 500 veterans who
make up one third of the Agency’s workforce. For decades, the Agency has hosted an
annual Veterans Day Program in recognition of the service and sacrifice of our GPO
veteran teammates. This year, Army Specialist Jessica Kwiatkowski, the first female
infantry soldier to earn a Tomb Badge, was the guest speaker at the event. Kwiatkowski
gained the attention of the public when a video of her guarding the Tomb of the Unknown
Soldier during a severe thunderstorm went viral in 2023.

“From the Civil War to today, veterans have contributed to GPO’s mission of serving the
Federal Government and the American people. To once again be named as a best place for
veterans shows that GPO is a great place to work,” said GPO Director Hugh Nathanial
Halpern.
Forbes and Statista selected GPO as part of the America’s Best Employers for Veterans
2024 through an independent survey from a vast sample of nearly 24,000 U.S. veterans
(having served in the United States Armed Forces - including the National Guard and
military reserves) working for companies employing at least 1,000 people within the
United States. Veterans were asked to give their opinion on a series of statements related
to general topics regarding their employer such as atmosphere and development, image,
working conditions, salary and wage, workplace, and diversity, as well as a set of topics
related specifically to the interests of veterans in the workplace.
