Lone Star State Takes Lead on Hiring Vets…

Interesting item to note from last week’s news clips: One state, in particular, has stepped up the hiring rate of veterans.  Texas has helped more veterans get jobs that any other state! The Lone Star state has a veterans hiring rate that surpasses the hiring rate of the top 5 states with the largest amount of veterans, combined! The Texas Veterans Commission reported to have helped 47,556 veterans find employment over the last twelve months. That’s a lot of veterans getting jobs! The commission has representatives that assist veterans with job applications, resumes, and other employment related services in more than 75 cities across the state.  Texas is on a mission to hire veterans, and they’ve succeeded!

With more veterans entering the workforce, many states need to follow Texas in their efforts to hire veterans. The unemployment rate for our veterans has the potential to be significantly decreased as long as more people become aware of problem at hand and step up to hire more veterans. Congratulations to Texas for being a veteran friendly state!
