And finally, as we close out the 2nd Annual Hiring RWY Veterans Job Fair, we want to emphasize
the variety of job opportunities offered to local veterans and other job seekers in Southeast Texas.
Unemployment for veterans who served after 9/11, as reported by the Bureau of Labor Statistics is
10%.
It remains important that skilled and experienced veterans can look to Southeast Texas
industries
such as oil/gas, construction, engineering, hospitals and healthcare, city and county
government,
financial and banking, telecommunications, higher education, and staffing agencies
to find
meaningful and productive job opportunities.
