America is struggling hard to employ its veteran population which reached 22 million during the year 2014. The saddening part is that the unemployment rates have increased manifold for veterans. Although many schemes and programs have been initiated by the government to help veterans and their dependent, still the gap has not been filled.
With lack of job opportunities, veterans are opting for small businesses instead and there is nothing bad in doing that. In fact, it is great for the American economy as small businesses are said to be the support system for any economy. Veterans due to their long service year are extremely talented people; their work ethics are beyond comparison. Government agencies and private corporations are well aware of the fact that the way veterans can manage a business is way more efficient than a trained business owner can do.
