Part of the many problems causing the slow economic growth were the two wars to begin with, still yet paid for, rubber stamped costs and all borrowed and off the books till the present executive administration, and especially neither are the now decades long results from. Abandoning the Main Mission for why soldiers were sent into the region, as well as the promises once again of the country to the Afghan people. Another is the reagan capitalists hoarding their multi millions to billions, some would rather hand out multi millions to political candidates, who sold the new capitalism on the idea they would invest in economic growth, trickle down instead of up, which they also sell as to them not paying a fair share in taxes and wanting that even lower as their wealth grows and the productive labor that produces that wealth falls in sharing of. Another is blocking public funding investing in economic growth which, in partnership with private, was how we grew what we once had and others envied. And yet another is those that envied once now have our the trades and innovations from as that's where economic growth industries is where the reagan capitalist actually do invest when they do. One more of many is the almost total misunderstanding, experienced civilian workers run into same, of the many tools of experience a veteran from the self sustaining military brings to jobs applied for by those charged with hiring.

Think it’s hard to find a job these days?
For young, male service members who enlisted after 9/11, the jobless rate is almost four times higher than the national average.

2 July 2012 - Christopher Wiers did two tours in Iraq with the Marine Corp. He got out in 2006. Finding a job since then has been, as he says, "absolutely a challenge."

Wiers was blown out of his Humvee by an IED in Iraq. Among his injuries: Two fractured vertebrae, broken left arm, and severe nerve damage from his right shoulder, so his right arm is paralyzed.

"I can’t really do as much as lot of people anymore," said Wiers, who just finished his associate's degree and will start his bachelor's soon. "Just finding employers that would actually hire someone that’s not going to be able to perform as good as someone else is a bit difficult.

Wiers is 28. Among veterans his age, the jobless rate is 30 percent. Right now, the national unemployment rate is about eight percent.

Like Wiers, members of the military coming home these day have a much higher rate of service-related injuries than in past conflicts.

That’s one reason why it is hard for veterans to find work. read more>>>
