military to civilian

After being discharged from the military, some service members can find it difficult to find civilian employment. It is often a hard job outlook for military veterans, and if former military members are not ready, they can find themselves struggling financially after leaving the service.

The unemployment rate of military veterans is staggering; according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, over 12 percent of veterans who joined the military after 9/11 are currently unemployed — far greater than the total unemployment rate in America.

The job outlook for veterans continues to look bleak as 100,000 veterans will soon leave service in the coming years amid increased defense budget cuts.
