Matrix Design Group Seeks Input for Military-Friendly Community Qualities:

May 6, 2019

What makes a state military-friendly? And which state is the most military-friendly? Matrix Design Group was given this task and they are close to cracking the code, but they need your help!
Through extensive research, they’ve identified more than 1,000 state-sponsored benefits that vary from location to location. These benefits fall into a range of different categories representing consistent themes such as taxes, education and employment.
As most benefits are qualitative in nature, it is difficult to determine the relative importance of each category. Elected officials are more likely to act on items they know are important to their constituents. Survey responses will help create preference weights and a ranking system to determine what makes a state military-friendly.
To participate in the survey, visit https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/59QCLG2, and share the link with any military member, veteran or dependents.
