A Perfect Storm is Brewing in Army Recruiting – Does It Know Why?
By Ray StarmannTwo days ago, it was reported that the Army will fall short of its goal to recruit 80,000 new soldiers this year.
According to the Associated Press:
Army officials say the updated goal will be 76,500. Six months into the recruiting year the service has brought in just 28,000 new soldiers.
Army spokeswoman Cynthia Smith said the main effort is to grow the Army to 483,500, as approved by Congress.
The struggle to meet this year’s higher recruiting numbers — which were a significant hike over last year’s recruiting mission of 69,000 — was expected, mainly due to the favorable American economy and increased competition from private sector employers who are able to pay graduates more money.
