Consider Hiring a Veteran

According to a report conducted by the Department of Labor, there has been an increase in unemployment amongst veterans most specifically between the ages of 20-24. In fact, the unemployment rate for this age group is lower than their civilian peer counterparts. Considering that these are the same men and women who have experience beyond their years in team building, leadership, program management, logistics, healthcare and more, why is there a problem in finding employment once they transition into civilian life? Even more important, how can we as civilian employers hire these highly trained individuals?
