The YesVets Campaign is part of a state-wide initiative to increase employment for veterans by recognizing employers who actively hire veterans, and encouraging and enabling other employers to do the same.
Created by HB 2040 during the 2015 Legislative Session, YesVets is a partnership between Washington Department of Veterans Affairs (WDVA), Employment Security Department (ESD), Department of Commerce, the Military Transition Council, and local Chambers of Commerce across the state.
Registered employers will receive a YesVets window decal to proudly show their community that they hire veterans. Each year that they continue to employ or hire more veterans, the business will receive a new year decal to add to the collection.
For more information, to sign up, or to help promote the YesVets program, please visit their website or contact your local Veterans Representative through WorkSource.

As of today 9/24/2021, how many employers are members of the YesVets program and how many Veterans have been hired? The numbers I have are, over 1,000 employers across the state signed up and 5,046 Veterans hired by those employers, is this still correct?

I don’t have insight directly into the program to get exact numbers, only what is posted on the YesVets website (https://esd.wa.gov/yesvets). Based on your email address, however, I would imagine you’ve got fairly accurate numbers.
