Veterans' employment outcomes in the civilian sector are an issue of ongoing congressional interest that has received particular attention during the current period of relatively high unemployment. A number of programs currently exist to assist veterans in obtaining or training for civilian employment. There is regular congressional debate about expanding or otherwise amending these programs to better serve veterans. This book discusses veterans' employment trends and programs with a focus on leveraging military service and experience to put veterans and military spouses back to work; veterans benefits; the Vocational Rehabilitation and Employment Program for veterans; and the SBA Veterans Assistance Program.
