Abstract

The civilian employment of military veterans has been a concern of the United States government since the end of World War I. During this time, Congress created the first legislation surrounding the employment of military veterans. Despite many efforts since, through legislation, policy, and services, finding and sustaining civilian employment continues to be a challenge for many U.S. veterans. Issues such as planning for life post-service, adjusting to civilian life and culture, veteran discrimination, and health challenges, in addition to the recent recession, are just some of the barriers and challenges military veterans face in securing and maintaining employment post-service.
