High unemployment is wreaking havoc for Veterans moreso than the with the general work force. There will be many coming home and the employment picture is kind of a mess.
There is another hitch that is messing up the job market. Baby Boomers were supposed to be retiring in hordes, opening up jobs for those entering the job arena. This isn't happening. Many retirees are, and will be, working into their 70s. Many can't afford to stop working. Others just like to keep busy.
More Veterans are focuing on self-employment. This appears to be the only solution for many. More and more states and agencing are paying more attention to Veterans. Then best magazine on this topic is Vetrepreneur. Check it out at http://www.navoba.com
