NAB lags in drive to win jobs for veterans
Washington AP report shows the National Alliance of Businessmen pledges 36,000 jobs for Vietnam veterans by November but has only hired 13,600. With 300,000 veterans unemployed and a goal of 100,000 placements in a year, NAB would need to triple its current rate of 2,720 placements per month. Officials cite initial confusion and weak economy, while critics urge government accountability.
