http://www.veteransforcommonsense.or...rticle/ID/6981Nationwide, the unemployment rate for veterans between 20 and 24 years old was 16 percent last year -- compared with a 9 percent unemployment rate for non-vets in that same age range. Overall, the nation's unemployment rate last year was 5.1 percent.
The page layout sucks, the rest of the story is at the bottom.
I'm still jobless and my pay is up this month.
*edit* Checked the time stamp on the article and its quite old, but it still seems true. I've not heard back from anyone in the past month. If I have, its from like, three obscure places that I barely remember applying to and all of them rejections. Best bet so far is a seasonal gig at Home Depot. I'm going to be unable to pay bills soon. I have no idea what the fuck I'm supposed to do. Tera's still in school, and she doesn't have time for a full time job. Maybe I made a huge fucking mistake. So now what? I'm not even getting call backs from retail or anything like that. I can't support us on freaking minimum wage bullshit from Taco Bell or anything like that. I've talked to my dad about moving back in with him if I don't find anything soon enough...
I still haven't checked umemployment or whether I even qualify for that yet. I'm skeptical seeing as I'm drawing a reserve paycheck...but we'll see come Monday.
