LOS ANGELES, Calif., and ARLINGTON, Va. (October 22, 2019) – Mercury Insurance (NYSE: MCY) is proud to announce its participation in the Department of Defense Military Spouse Employment Partnership, an employment and career partnership connecting military spouses with more than 400 partner employers who have committed to recruit, hire, promote and retain military spouses in portable careers.

By joining the Military Spouse Employment Partnership, Mercury Insurance is becoming part of an even larger collective effort to support military spouse employment.

“We’re honored to be a part of the Military Spouse Employment Partnership.

Mercury Insurance, founded by WWII veteran George Joseph, proudly employs many veterans and numerous employees with family members who are currently serving in our Nation’s armed forces.

This partnership is the latest in Mercury’s long commitment of giving back to the military and veterans.
