The Florida
Collectors Association is now proudly a part of the Hiring our Heroes movement. It is an initiative by the U.S. Chamber
of Commerce Foundation to support and encourage the hiring of military veterans
and spouses.
"We are excited to be involved in an initiative that
helps achieve two very important purposes – to honor America's heroes who have
sacrificed so much for us by helping them find work, and to fulfill the vision
to pair employers in the industry with qualified veterans," said Florida
Collectors Association President James Welborn.
There are
approximately 11 million veterans in the civilian workforce according to data
collected nationally, and this number is expected to rise due to the number of
veterans returning from other nations.
The Bureau of Labor
Statistics predicts that employment in the collections industry will grow by
nearly 15% between now and 2022 – which will be about 58,000 jobs. In addition,
U.S. News & World Report cites
that the industry of bill collections as its 11th top job in
business in 2014 and 57th out of top 100 overall.
The ACA International
and global consulting firm Ernst & Young conducted a national survey that
indicates that third-party debt collectors will influence the creation of
15,400 jobs in Florida with a payroll of approximately $480 million. According
to Welborn, "Today's collection agencies do more than just recover
consumer debt; they are also valuable job providers, taxpayers, community
volunteers and philanthropists."
