solid 2.9% yield. the company announced it is getting out of venezuela. at the end of october clorox delivered a solid better than expected quarter. the best thing about the story is the management of david canals. he transformed the company into a single business united by a common vision. he is no stranger to leadership. he was an artillery office in the marine corps serving from august of '76 to january of 1981. i am thrilled to have him here with us ahead of veterans day to thank him for excellent service. clorox leads by example when it comes to hiring veterans as they make up about 8% of the u.s. employee population. welcome back to "mad money"." >> let's get right to it. you hire veterans because they are good for business, not just because you are doing the right thing. >> absolutely. what we find with veterans is they have a mission orientation. they know how to get the job done and they know how to work in teams, diverse teams across different branches of service and have a work ethic. they actually show up. showing up is a big deal. >> that was

economy is in very solid shape. the tail winds to economic growth, monetary policy being easy, the tail winds are an innovation of the technology that have created more efficient production in the u.s., incredible, energy, the consumption, multiplier you got from energy is incredible. the system is delevered different than europe or japan and we have a delevered system you can create more lending, more velocity in the economy so you have a series of tail winds that we think are powerful and the dollar rallies, people talked about exports, i think people overestimate the fact that u.s. is a closed economy relative to the rest of the world. our export as a percent of gdp is in the low teens. so anyway, i think economy is going to be solid. it's not fantastic groet but we'll be in a three plus growth gdp dynamic for an extended period of time. >> erin, what are you watching for in the week ahead? >> we're always concerned about the holiday season but already it's about what's going to happen in 2015. and for us i think
