Commitment Progress Update
Offer a job to any eligible, honorably discharged veteran within their first 12 months off active duty. As of February 2014, Walmart has hired more than 32,000 veterans. We project we will hire 100,000 veterans by the end of 2018, many within their first 12 months off active duty.
Buy an additional $250 billion in products made, assembled, sourced or grown in the U.S. over 10 years in an effort to grow U.S. manufacturing and encourage the creation of U.S. jobs (began in 2013). Walmart has seen many early successes with the program. Walmart hosted its first U.S. Manufacturing Summit in August 2013, with 34 states, eight governors and more than 1,500 attendees. Multiple commitments have already been made by suppliers, and we are on track to continue this progress.
