Yesterday, President Obama signed the VOW to Hire Heroes Act, a portion of his jobs bill, into law. The act will provide tax incentives for companies that hire unemployed veterans and veterans with service-connected disabilities.
The act is coupled with the introduction of more resources to aid veterans in their search for jobs, and many companies have rolled out their own veteran-specific hiring resources and initiatives in light of the act.
According to the Department of Veteran's Affairs, there are about 725,000 veterans living in the state of Michigan. With Michigan's unemployment rates being one of the highest in the nation, the VOW to Hire Heroes Act will give many of our unemployed Michigan veterans an opportunity to get back to work.
