As of today 220,000 military veterans in the United States are looking for work. Remember that thing called the War in Iraq, well its over. So what happens when these qualified heroes return home, work of course! Though the numbers will show that most vets are having a hard time finding jobs, on average they are more qualified than ever to work in tech.
I'm not the only one routing for our vets, First Lady Michelle Obama has a goal of hiring 100,000 veterans and military spouses by 2014, and tech companies such as Microsoft and Google have stepped up to the plate by taking a look at Veteran applicants first.
