The economic recession seems to be hitting Iraq and Afghanistan veterans harder than other workers. Currently, one in nine veterans are now out of work. This sobering statistic has many people feeling that some troops are feeling forced to remain in the service. If you are a CA serviceman or woman, make sure that you remember there are many laws protecting your rights in the workforce.

The jobless rate for veterans who served in Iraq and Afghanistan and who are 18 and older rose 4 percentage points in the past year to 11.2%. This number is notably higher than the corresponding 8.8% rate for non-veterans in the same age group. While some soldiers have made the choice to re-enlist specifically because of the poor civilian job market, many CA veterans do not have that option, for a variety of reasons.
