U.S. Transportation Secretary LaHood Announces Assistance for Veterans Seeking Jobs in Transportation

WASHINGTON (June 21, 2012) – U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood and U.S. Veterans Affairs Secretary Eric Shinseki today unveiled a new portal on their departments’ websites designed to help military veterans find jobs in the transportation industry.

“Veterans have the skills, knowledge and attributes that American businesses need to help rebuild an economy that will last," said Secretary Shinseki.
