Lets Find You A Job

Some veterans have a hard time finding a job when they are coming home from their services. The Texas rate of unemployed veterans is 5.5% and 6.8% nationwide. Over the pass few years Texas has tried to pay special attention to help get returning soldiers a job when they come home. The US House of Veterans' Affair Subcommittee had a recent field hearing in Waco to survey the new approaches to help the veterans. There were businesses that spoke up about hiring veterans and or are willing to hire veterans.

There is The Post-9/11 GI Bill that also helps veterans have financial support for and education. A&M University and Baylor are trying to be more “military friendly”. There are places and many programs that are available for returning soldiers. It still doesn't seem enough; the veterans are still struggling to find employment.

The programs don’t seem to reach out to enough veterans to help them find a job or allow them to get an education to help them get a job. There are still homeless veterans, and veterans struggling to find a job to support themselves or there families. There should be more “military friendly” employment available for the veterans and there are work programs to for military at Workforce. 

The services that the military have done for us risking there lives and when they come back we can even give them a stable job to support there families. Texas is trying to help but the veterans unemployment rate has to get lower; it should not be so hard for the veterans to get a job.
