Event Description:
In 2014, the unemployment rate for veterans was 25% higher than the nonveteran rate according to SHRM. Service members often struggle to correlate military experience with civilian job descriptions and sometimes deal with negative perceptions about their abilities and mental health.
In 2020 the jobless rate for all veterans increased to 6.5 percent.
Many organizations are looking to hire more veterans to utilize their expertise and experience.
