JumpVine has also reduced the rate of turnover in the first year from a national average of 5 out of 10 leaving in the first year to only 2 out of 10 by doing the things that recruiting firms do not do.

Women who are working outside the home and go to their job and have these worries hanging over their head. Women, especially women who are head of a single parent household, need a plan that addresses things such as who will care for your children if they cannot? Who and how will they care for their aging parents with their own children at home? Who will care for them when they themselves are aging?
