How To Help Unemployed Veterans

For servicemen and women returning home, finding a place in the civilian world can be difficult.

Many veterans are coping with physical injuries, struggling with PTSD and affected by other disabilities sustained during their service.

Because of these and other factors, men and women who have served their country so bravely find themselves unemployed, even homeless. Nationally, an estimated 107,000 veterans find themselves without a home each night.

According to The Washington Post, unemployment among young veterans hit a high of 21 percent earlier this year.
