Nearly One Million Vietnam Era Veterans Not Facing Job Crisis
The South does not face a job crisis for Vietnam Era veterans, with available positions for veterans and others. Atlanta official Pat Hogan notes some veterans delay work while seeking ideal jobs, aided by 26 weeks of unemployment benefits, and Georgia reports a low 3.4 percent veteran unemployment rate. Florida, Georgia, North Carolina and other Southern states host large veteran populations and emphasize education benefits and retraining to improve placement.
