Apparently the impressive, new state-of-the-art Medical Center isn’t the only reason Gilbert, Arizona is a great place for Veterans.
Among other things, WalletHub’s Best Cities for Veterans study took into consideration: Military skill related jobs, Veteran population, employment and wage growth, educational opportunities, and Veteran-owned business. Personally I would added Weather to that list but I am a bit partial to the Arizona climate. Perhaps weather is not as important to everyone else 🙂
A short excerpt from the article, partial list and a link to the complete study are below. 100 cities were included in the study.

…In honor of those who fought bravely for the sake of our freedom, WalletHub took on the mission of finding the best and worst cities for our former service people. We drew upon 19 key metrics to rank 100 of the m ost populated U.S. cities. The data set ranges from the percentage of military skill-related jobs to the availability of VA health facilities. With our findings, we aim to help our veterans find a comfortable home in the country they served.
