Center for a New American Security launches Vet employment study - VAntage Point

An enormous effort has gone into helping Veterans successfully transition from service to civilian employment over the past several years. This effort has included the public sector, the private sector and nonprofits across America. Collectively, the hiring commitments, improved training programs and streamlined support processes have helped reduce the overall veterans unemployment rate since 2009.
However, despite this success, a great deal remains unknown about Veterans employment. What does a Veteran career path look like after the first job after service? How does Veteran retention compare to that of non-Veterans? How do employers view Veterans in the workforce? And, perhaps most important, can we estimate the contributions of Veterans to the economy, to make the business case for Veterans employment?
