Today's veterans bring unique abilities and experience to the civilian workforce. Teamwork is an essential aspect of military service, and servicemen and women spend years relying on their team members to stay safe and complete important tasks. They understand the value of collaboration, and the way people from diverse backgrounds can work together to achieve their goals.
This is undoubtedly one of the most important soft skills employers look for in job candidates, and it’s one that should make veterans a top choice for companies in Sarasota, Florida. At We Hire Heroes, we understand your need for employees with good teamwork experience, and we believe hiring veterans is the solution to developing a competent workforce of the future.
About Sarasota, FL
Sarasota is a city south of Tampa on Florida’s Gulf Coast that was once the winter home of the Ringling Brothers Circus. Today it hosts a number of cultural institutes, notably the Ringling Museum of Art, which showcases old masters and modern art. It’s also the gateway to miles of beaches with fine sand and shallow waters, such as Lido Beach and Siesta Key Beach. This southwestern Florida city enjoys fresh Gulf Coast cuisine, 35 miles of inviting beaches, and a history as the Circus Capital of the World.
Sarasota Economy
Over the past decade, Sarasota has experienced cycles of real estate booms and busts. During the Great Recession the city lost 3,700 residents. It’s currently enjoying a surge of growth that looks sustainable, however, if for no other reason than the 10,000 baby boomers who are retiring every day and relocating to warmer climates. Recent changes to federal tax law that will increase taxes in other states will also spur migration to Florida, where state income tax is 100% lower than the national average.
Working in Sarasota FL
Through powerful economic incentives and an expanding workforce, Sarasota continues to be a great place for some of the nation's fastest-growing industries.

The city of Sarasota leads in mixed-use and high-rise development, clustered in and around downtown. In the past three years, the city has gained 4,000 residential units, primarily around downtown. Twenty-eight projects are under construction, and another 46 are planned. While most of the construction work over the past four years has been residential, there have also been some major commercial developments. These include hotels, tourist attractions and a sports venue, all of which have the potential for hiring veterans.
Companies in Sarasota that are willing to create jobs for veterans in the hospitality, construction, manufacturing or service industries are vital to the successful reintegration of military members into civilian society. Hiring veterans carries a number of valuable benefits for an employer, not least the fact that you’re giving back to those who served.
