Thanks! This information was more valuable to me right now than you could know. As, I put together more updated presentations to others---it is so helpful to have these stats. * ***I have this hunch I'd like help on though:*
Huge numbers of Veterans are finishing-up their tour of duty; coming home only to not be able to find jobs. Many of those? are launching Startups. Large percentages of that sector are highly educated and trained in everything from IT and Software Development to 3D Modeling and Interactive Game Development. There are even government programs to HELP them launch their Startups. Sure seems like more perfect candidates for COWORKING as well as Incubator Services? Any stats or knowledge on these fronts? Anyone? Is anyone marketing to them???
