What are the top 4 private sector industries for veterans to work in?

Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for another great report Rally Point! I'm researching functions and industries within the geographic region I want to work and information like this really helps provide insight into industries where my experience may be more readily accepted. I've already noticed that a regional utility company recruits regularly at the B-school I'll attend, and that in conjunction with a report likes this puts that company on the top of my target list.

Depends on the MOS. An Infantryman trying to get into corporate finance is going to have a tough sell. However, these are the four industries I've seen the most success in - mostly because the MOS easily translates into something civilian employers can understand:
MOS Civilian Sector
MP Physical security
Logisistics/Supply Supply Chain, logistics, freight forwarding
Information Technology Computer and data networks, cyber security
Finance Accounting, auditing, payroll

Notice how none of these are combat MOS's. Moral of that story is if you're in the military for a career, stick to combat arms, but not if you're planning to use the military as a springboard to something else.

I believe, but then some may say i'm prejudice.

I wonder why working for defense contractors isn't on there. All of my co-workers are veterans. Or does this fall under government employment?

I would wonder why law enforcement/security (in all it's facets) aren't up there?

Depends on what you want to do. If you want a career that will never die than Security, Technology, Medical and law enforcement.
