While a number of issues of stagnant growth bring up more questions, especially as to why once again military veterans issues are ignored, no one mentions the promises of the reagan free market capitalism nor the reasons given of why the turn to, many knew why, greed of the few on the backs of the many, after success in growth of the capitalism of sharing in the labors it brings, not totally adhered to by the same greed but with the benefits clearly visible with a once strong middle class. The new reagan capitalism promises of top investments for economic and job, especially to those who serve the country, growth thus not needing government investment even in infrastructure needs of the business world
July 5, 2013 - The veteran-unemployment crisis may be ebbing toward an end as the jobless pace for younger ex-troops declined in June for the fifth consecutive month, marking its lowest rate since November 2008, the Labor Department reported Friday.
Among former service members who served during the Iraq and Afghanistan eras, 7.2 percent were out of work last month, undercutting the 7.5 percent unemployment rate posted in June by non-veterans – a monthly milepost reached only three times during the past five years, federal figures show.
Veterans and company leaders were not prepared Friday to declare victory over the chronic quandary. But one job recruiter and former Navy pilot said the brighter stats reflect the immense sweat spent by veterans advocates on job fairs and resume-writing help plus the spreading buzz among business honchos who are starting to trust and tap a pool of ex-military talent once largely ignored.
“You have a very viable workforce – mature, skilled, seasoned, reliable and disciplined – and employers are making a concerted effort to look at that pool of candidates almost separately from the non-veteran pool,” said Sean Carroll, managing partner at Polachi Access Executive Search, based near Boston.
“It's almost like when you apply to college: there’s a pile of applications from legacy candidates (that get the first look) and then a pile from everybody else," added Carroll, who flew missions during the first Gulf War. "You’re seeing that now with employers: there's a pile of veteran candidates then there’s everybody else.”
A massive public-private drive to hire younger veterans was ignited in early 2011. That year, first lady Michelle Obama launched the "Joining Forces" campaign, which has helped escort nearly 300,000 ex-military members from careers in uniform to civilian jobs, the White House reported April 30. read more>>>
Other issues, decades long in ignoring from previous war theaters to present, can be asked as to why the masses served think waving the flag, having parades and welcome home ceremonies, and saying words of support, and also condemnation pointed at, the agency tasked by the people to care for those after the results of our wars, whomever when deemed fit to use, fulfills their responsibility and sacrifice they demanded, with cheers for invasions and war/occupations, from those who served them!
