The veterans look at these opportunities with clear focus.
ve seen a lot of great companies here today. They are hiring for a lot of great positions that Im qualified for and hopefully Ill be able to get into one of these good positions with one of these good companies, said one veteran job-seeker.
They want to help us veterans. A lot of us are coming out with PTSD [Post Traumatic Stress Disorder], with scars, and injuredtheir hand is out to us more than it was a few years ago, I think, said another veteran.
Dakota Meyer, a Medal of Honor recipient, is the unofficial spokesman for vets searching for civilian work. He talked about the burden placed on his fellow servicemen and women, especially those who served in Afghanistan and Iraq.
It was the longest war ever fought. It was fought by such a small percentage of our population, less than 0.45 percent of our nation carried the burden of this war over the past 12-13 years, he said. Are they ready? Of course. They are ready for anything. Theyre ready to go to war tomorrow, so theyre ready to go to any civilian workplace.
More veterans are finding work these days, mainly because the American economy is growing after years of recession. Veteran leaders, such as Meyer, see this development as proof that a tougher focus on veteran unemployment by the White House, Congress, communities, labor unions and business is paying off.
