Veteran Job Fairs TODAY!

With 2013 well into its second half, the outlook for veterans continues to look promising. According to the Bureau of Labor, the unemployment rate for veterans has steadily gone down over the past two years. Companies continue to market programs for veterans to help those who served find viable careers to support themselves and their families. Many of these programs seek to educate veterans about business opportunities and help them find their professional footing through discounted fees. Franchising continues to be a particularly promising option for veterans, as they have the opportunity to take advantage of programs that offer discounted prices on the franchising fee and set up payment plans to help with additional costs. 1851 has your roundup of the top Job Fairs for interested veterans to check out as we push through the final half of the year.
