Nixon orders all-out effort to find jobs for Viet vets
President Nixon directed a government-wide push to cut veteran unemployment, targeting 1.1 million leaving service yearly. He proposed six steps including a Jobs-For-Veterans drive, expanded training slots, and listing all federal job openings with the U.S. Employment Service. Government agencies and contractors must boost job placement, training, and counseling for Vietnam-era veterans. The White House plan aims to add 20,000 on-the-job training slots and lift defense and labor programs to aid veterans, whose unemployment reached 10.8 percent for ages 20 to 29.
