Currently 123,000 of the 855,000 individuals serving as military personnel are hired by the federal government.
USERRA, the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act enacted in 1994, outlines the rights and responsibilities of employees performing military service and prohibits discrimination in initial hiring and reemployment. Virtually all employers are subject to the provisions of USERRA.
Many US veterans suffer from unemployment and a large percentage of them rely on government assistance and handouts to live.
According to the Bureau of labor statistics, unemployment for veterans who fought in Iraq and Afghanistan is higher than the national average.
Critics say the struggle for US troops and veterans will continue even after the wars wind down.
