Marks seventh consecutive year American Water has been included on Military Friendly® Employer rankings

American Water (NYSE: AWK), the largest regulated water and wastewater utility company in the U.S., announced today that it has earned the 2024 Military Friendly® Gold Employer designation for its industry-leading efforts on hiring and supporting our nation’s military veterans.

“Organizations earning the Military Friendly Employers designation have wholeheartedly invested in comprehensive and impactful initiatives that bring about positive, life-changing results for our valued service members, dedicated military spouses, and esteemed veterans within their ranks,” said Kayla Lopez, Senior Director of Military Partnerships at Military Friendly®. “We salute these exemplary employers who raise the bar and understand that hiring military personnel is not merely an act of goodwill but a testament to a standard that truly embodies sound business wisdom. Their steadfast commitment to integrating military personnel into their workforce not only reflects their compassion but also underscores their business acumen.”

American Water will be featured as one of the 2024 Military Friendly® Employers in the Winter issue of G.I. Jobs® magazine and on MilitaryFriendly.com.
