“Thank you for your service.” As we commemorate Veteran’s Day, this simple expression of gratitude is undoubtedly appreciated by many of our service members, past and present, but many of America’s veterans could also use something else — a job. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, of the nation’s 21 million veterans, 11 million — more than half — are still in the workforce. Of those, 735,000 were unemployed in September 2012. The overall unemployment rate for veterans of 6.7 percent is slightly better than the national rate of 7.8 percent, but for “Gulf War era-II” veterans, the rate is 9.7 percent. For women veterans of the most recent era, it’s a staggering 19.9 percent.
