United States Department of Labor

Employers recognize the value veterans bring to the workplace but often find it challenging to connect with separating service members and veterans seeking employment. Veterans are in high demand, so it requires dedicated efforts by employers to find and hire veterans.

This guide intends to:
• Provide accurate information about service member and veteran demographics.
• Share federal, state, and other resources with employers to facilitate veteran employment; and
• Make recommendations on how to attract, train, and retain veterans.
