Senator Dodd: Work for Warriors Helps Veterans Get Hired

California veterans have done their duty and it's time to get them into the workplace

The unemployment rate for our returning National Guard veterans is as high as 20 percent. Work for Warriors can help change this. The group matches employers with highly trained veterans who are ready to leave the military for civilian life. It provides incentives to businesses and direct placement, helping to deliver thousands of jobs over the past two years.

It's a great model that costs that can reduce the unemployment rate of our local heroes. Because they've done their duty. Now it is time to help California veterans get hired.
