WASHINGTON, Nov. 8, 2011 – One of the best ways Americans
can honor the nation’s veterans this Veterans Day is by giving them a job,
three senior government officials told reporters today.
Veterans Affairs Secretary Eric K. Shinseki, Labor Secretary
Hilda L. Solis and U.S. Small Business Administrator Karen G. Mills praised
initiatives under way to support returning combat veterans, including those
President Barack Obama announced yesterday.
[…]
Shinseki noted that 850,000 veterans are unemployed. For
veterans of the Iraq and Afghanistan conflicts, the unemployment rate is 12.1
percent -- 3 percent above the national average, he said.
